Hon. Sayibu Suhuyini Alhassan, Member of Parliament for Tamale North, has passionately advocated for the urgent empowerment of rural communities in providing early childhood education (ECE) for their children.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement delivered on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, February 22, 2024, Hon Suhuyini, highlighted the dire situation facing over 250 million children under the age of five, particularly in rural areas, who lack access to quality ECE.<\/p>\n

He acknowledged Ghana’s constitutional commitment to Free and Compulsory Universal Basic Education (fCUBE), which includes two years of pre-primary education (Kindergarten), as well as the endorsement of the Early Childhood Education Policy Framework by the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service in 2020<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a global Early Childhood Education crisis, and over 250 million children under five \u2013 most of whom are located in rural communities in the global south- do not have access to adequate education and care leading to poor health, poor education, child marriage, lost life opportunities and poverty. As representatives of our nation, we must ensure that every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to reach their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suhuyini commended Ghana\u2019s constitutional commitment to Free and Compulsory Universal Basic Education (fCUBE), which includes two years of pre-primary education (Kindergarten). He also acknowledged the endorsement of the Early Childhood Education Policy Framework by the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service in 2020 which aims to prepare children holistically for primary school.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2008, the country included two years of pre-primary education (Kindergarten) as part of its constitutional commitment to Free and Compulsory Universal Basic Education (fCUBE) and as part of strengthening the Early Childhood Education sub-system, the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service has facilitated the approval of the ECE Policy Framework and endorsed by the cabinet in 2020. This was to prepare children in readiness for primary school, and to develop holistically, their physical, social, emotional, intellectual needs to build a broad and solid foundation for their wellbeing.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hon Suhuyini urged the government to ensure the availability of kindergarten spaces for all children, engage families and communities to provide learning opportunities at home and collaborate strategically with stakeholders to implement the ECE Policy Framework nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is no secret that due to budgetary constraints and others, education at all levels and in most parts of the country is bedevilled by many challenges. However, it\u2019s worse and unique in rural communities, especially when it comes to Early Childhood Education. Limited access to quality preschool spaces and programs, lack of resources, and poverty all hinder the rural child\u2019s development during these critical years\u201d<\/p>\n

Suhuyini praised the efforts of organizations like Lively Minds, which operates in 2,624 rural communities in Ghana, to promote ECE. He commended the government\u2019s adoption of the \u201cGES Lively Minds Programme,\u201d which empowers parents despite their poverty and limited education to support their children\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne way to empower rural communities is by providing them with the necessary resources and support to establish high-quality preschool programs. By investing in early childhood education, we can help children develop essential skills that will set them up for success in school and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother important aspect of empowering rural communities is involving parents and caregivers in their children\u2019s education. By providing training and support to parents, we can ensure that they have the knowledge and tools to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for their children at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Speaker this is where I wish to introduce to members and commend highly the efforts of an organization, Lively Minds, an NGO doing amazing work in about 2624 rural communities in Ghana to promote early childhood education. This initiative has been adopted by the government of Ghana and has been dubbed the \u201cGES Lively Minds Programme.\u201d This approach aims to shift the mindsets and behaviours of parents so they realise that despite their poverty and limited education, they have the power and the means to make a change.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MP called for continued collaboration between the government, local organizations like Lively Minds, and community leaders to implement targeted interventions in rural communities. He emphasized that investing in early childhood education is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic investment in the nation\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

\u201c93% of parents in their programme have less than 2 years of primary education. I have had the opportunity to visit some of their operational areas and the community volunteers are not paid for their work on the programme, nor are they provided with materials or infrastructure but their dedication to bring about significant and wide-ranging improvements in their children\u2019s development is admirable. They use basic teaching learning resources created by themselves using materials mostly picked from their environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
HON SUHUYINI ALHASSAN<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI am convinced that our government must continue to collaborate with local organizations such as Lively Minds and community leaders to address the specific education needs of our rural communities. By working together, we can implement targeted interventions that will benefit both children and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suhuyini urged Parliament not to overlook the challenges faced by rural communities, but to stand united in their commitment to creating a brighter future for all children.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmpowering rural communities to help their preschool children thrive is not just a moral imperative \u2013 it is also an investment in the future of our nation. By working together and taking decisive action, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Let us not turn a blind eye to the challenges faced by rural communities, but instead, let us stand united in our commitment to creating a brighter future for all.<\/p>\n
