Education and Human Rights in the Context of Ghana’s Pre-Tertiary Education Curriculum Framework

This paper contributes to the ongoing discourse on human rights education, particularly focusing on Ghana as an invested proponent of education and human rights. Highlighting the constitutional and international acknowledgment of education as a fundamental human right, as well as the importance of human rights education for societal progress, the study delves into Ghana's dedication to human rights education. This study was basically a meta-analysis of which the current curriculum framework for the pre-tertiary education in Ghana was the focus. The findings reveal that while the new curriculum framework contains elements of human rights within its core values and specific primary school modules, there's a notable absence of explicit articulation of human rights education. The study suggests that integrating human rights throughout the curriculum could provide a more comprehensive approach, ensuring their significance is not overlooked.
