A Junior High School teacher, Phanuel Yaw Ayawly, has petitioned the Ministry of Education to withdraw the Integrated Science Textbooks for Junior High Schools from schools for what he calls unpardonable errors.<\/p>\n
According to Phanuel Ayawli, the textbooks are full of grammatical and typographical errors and have been in use for the past three years.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Complaining to Citi News’ <\/strong>Kwame Botchway,<\/strong>\u00a0Phanuel Ayawly said the textbooks are not worthy to be used by students.<\/p>\n He said he petitioned the Ministry last Friday and is awaiting their response.<\/p>\n \u201cThe book is diseased with a lot of errors and mistakes, typographic errors and a whole lot. They are all not wholesome for the consumption of our young ones. That is what they are using all over the country.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ayawli gave the title of the book as the \u201cNew Integrated Science for Junior High Schools: Discovery series. Authored by Theodore E.T. Kom-Zuta and published by Sedco and Pearson.\u201d<\/p>\n
