Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt has taken the explanations given by the publisher of the controversial History textbooks with a pinch of salt.
A Ghanaian local publishing house, Badu Nkansah Limited, publisher of the controversial textbooks says the books were leaked and that they intended not for them to be on the market yet since it has not fully met the assessment criteria of the National Council for Curriculum Assessment (NaCCA).
The books comprise History of Ghana for Basic 6 by Golden Publications which carries distasteful information about Ghana's first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP, History of Ghana Textbook 3 by Badu Nkansah Publications which features “A song that shows the Ewes identity” and Golden English Basic 4 by Golden Publications which displays “Efo agress to prepare juju for the players” on page 17.
