The Valley View University Basic School has notified parents of phasing out the teaching and learning of Ga, as a Ghanaian language, in their schools.
The development according to a statement dated February 3, 2021 signed by the Director, Beatrice Ama Ntanu is due to the difficulty in getting qualified teachers to teach the subject.
“This ia due to the difficulty in getting qualified teachers to teach this subject” it stated in part.
It further noted that all affected students from Basic one to three are left with only the option of learning Twi as a Ghanaian language in the school.
Mrs Ntanu, indicated that all other classes from Basic four to Basic nine will continue to have the option of choosing between Twi and Ga as languages to study for their Ghanaian language courses.
Ga as a subject has remained an examinable subject by the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) for over two decades.
Despite it being an academic subject, the study of the subject is among others things expected to give students an appreciable knowledge and proficieny of the language.
