The retired educator, Ibrahim Kwaku Gyasi, is pleased with the introduction of new uniforms for junior high school students, as announced by the Education Department of the Ghana (GES), Thursday, April 11th.
It is appropriate that wearing a uniform different from that of primary schools will serve as a moral reminder to JHS students preparing for high school.

Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa, Director General of the GES, announced several reforms undertaken at the basic education level, including the replacement of the existing primary education program and the introduction of new uniforms for the students. JHS school students, which will come into effect at the beginning of the next school calendar in September. .
According to Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa, the introduction of the school uniform for ETS students is a psychological strategy aimed at getting students to see themselves as part of the second cycle education system of high school before even getting there.
"When you go to other countries and you finish primary school, you go to high school right away; lower secondary or upper secondary education is part of the overall secondary education.
"In our case, our structure is such that JHS students are part of the primary school. So, they tend to see themselves as elementary students [pupils] but the idea of introducing these uniforms is to let them consider themselves high school students, "he told reporters.
