Observe February 17 as National Mathematics Day - GES charges directors of education

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has directed all regional and district directors of education to observe February 17 this year as National Mathematics Day in all first and second cycle schools across the country.

It reminded the directors of education that “the day is earmarked for only mathematics activities in our schools throughout the country”.

A letter dated February 8, 2021 to all regional directors of education signed by the Director of Schools and Instructions of the GES, Mrs Patty E. Assan, indicated that a national virtual durbar with stakeholders would be organised at the Science Education Unit in Accra alongside the regional and district school activities.

February 14

It said the National Mathematics Day, which should have been celebrated on February 14, 2021, had been moved to Wednesday, February 17, 2021, since February 14 fell on a Sunday.

February 14 every year is celebrated as St Valentine’s Day, where people show their love and affection for one another.

However, the day has been adopted by the GES for students to show love for mathematics to help break the myth surrounding the subject which is seen as difficult for many students.

The poor performance of students in the subject over the years is evidence of the challenge students have with the subject.

There was, however, an improvement in the subject last year where performance improved from 65.31 per cent in 2019 to 65.71 per cent in 2020.

Sharaf Mahama, the son of former President John Dramani Mahama, has demonstrated that one does not have to be a politician simply because his father or relative is a politician. Sharaf Mahama is now a member of the Top Scout Football Academy, and he has scored several goals for his side as a result of his abilities. Yesterday, he was sighted at the Accra Sports Stadium, when Accra Hearts of Oak faced Wydad AC as part of the CAF Champions League matches. This was the opening leg, and Accra Hearts of Oak defeated Wydad FC. When the photographs were released online, Ghanaians responded violently. Some Ghanaians urged the page that shared the image to refrain from politicizing things. According to them, he was no different than any other Ghanaian, therefore they shouldn't make his attendance at the stadium appear so spectacular. Other Ghanaians urged Sharaf to support Mahama's "Do or Die" campaign.
