Nana Okomafo Dwamena Akenten IV, Chief of Buoyem in the Techiman Municipality, 
has appealed to the Ghana Education Service to review its policy of using 
Ghanaian languages to teach in public basic schools.

He held that a child learns a second language quicker and better at a tender 
age and as such the GES should review the policy to take the child's language 
acquisition into consideration.
