Advocacy 04
chapter one
happens in school.
Most Ghanaian children meet French at nine or ten years old — and decide how they feel about it within a term. I want to be in the room for that.
French is on the syllabus long before anybody meets a person who loves it. By JHS it has become a subject to survive, not a language to speak.
That is not a curriculum problem. It is a first-impression problem — and those can be replaced.
Ghana borders three francophone countries. The children told French is “hard” are the ones who will one day work across those borders.
What a school visit looks like Four parts
French, out loud
Nobody sits quietly. Pupils speak in the first ten minutes — games, call-and-response, songs, and names they can pronounce by the end.
The teachers keep it
Staff leave with the material, the method and a follow-up plan, so the energy in the room does not vanish when I do.
The door stays open
Pupils and teachers join the community and the YouTube channel. The lesson does not end at the school gate.
“A child who believes French is for them will still be learning it in ten years.”
— Grace Takyi
