Seasoned Journalist, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has condemned the publishing and sale of the controversial History textbooks for primary schools in the country.
The books are 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.
The general public is outraged with the contents of the textbooks which have been described as offensive to Ewes.
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.

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has called for swift investigations into how unapproved textbooks with inappropriate content found their way into schools in the country.
The association has also entreated the National Security to get to the bottom of the matter, since the source of distribution of the books was yet to be ascertained.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic in Accra yesterday, the General Secretary of the GNAT, Mr. Thomas Musah, said once the source of the unapproved books was identified, sanctions should be applied to serve as deterrent to others.
