Since March 2020 when Ghana had its share of the affliction occasioned by the deadly global pandemic, the COVID-19, over 3.4 million Kindergarten (KG Two) to Basic Four primary school pupils have found themselves out of school.
The outbreak of COVID-19 led to the closure of over 25,487 primary schools in the country, with children now unable to attend face-to-face instruction in a classroom environment.
And since management of education in the country could not immediately envisage when school would re-open, it was important to put in place an alternative learning programme to keep the children busy in some form of learning while at home.

Every year, a new star is born and just like the previous years, new stars were born and infused into the Ghana music scene. There were over 100 of them born this year, but a few stood out with their creative content. See below a set of new industry shot callers:
Dead Peepol While Donald Trump and the United States were trying hard to ban Chinese video-sharing app, TikTok, the fast-rising duo found their luck with it. It’s the major social media application that shot them into the limelight when they released their breakthrough single, titled “Otan Hunu”, featuring RichKent. They were smart – they took advantage of their newly found fame to grab new school leaders; Fameye, Medikal, Kuami Eugene, Tulenkey, Deon Boakye, Malcolm N and BosomP-Yung, for the remix. And guess what? It blew up instantly.
