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.
