The Vice President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia has supported calls for the study of civic education to be reintroduced into the school curriculum.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a\u00a0National Dialogue on restoring Ghanaian Identity, he said Ghanaians had lost their identifiable values which needed to be restored.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”e4sMr6ndcIDML8kI6UzIfK7mhLqZ07fW”]The forum which was organised by National Commission for Civic Education was on the theme \u201cRestoring the Ghanaian identity, our values, and our passion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe used to have these Ghanaian values and we somewhat lost them and we are trying to restore them\u2026 we will agree that to a large extent we have lost a lot of these values and therefore restoration is something we should definitely aim for.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Vice President stressed that “having a clear identity and good values are crucial prerequisites for building and developing our country.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI dare say no country in the world has achieved greatness without her people developing a clear identity and forging a common purpose based on good value systems,” he added.<\/p>\n

Also at the programme, revered educationist and former Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) rector, Professor Stephen Adei, had earlier called for the introduction of civic education in Ghanaian basic schools.<\/p>\n

He said this would enable the country to inculcate good values and also instil the culture of national identity in\u00a0young Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

He said it was only through civic education that the country could maintain its values and also create in its citizens a sense of national identity.<\/p>\n

Also featuring at the programme were Professor Ama Atta Aidoo, K. B. Asante and Justice V.C.R.A Crabbe.<\/p>\n
