  My friend, at a time when majority of school leavers cannot read and write proper English, to the extent that ministers are sometines forced to speak Akan to the youth, you are happy that we are introducing compulsory French. Our English is already broken so the compulsory French wil be broken-broken-broken !
  
  In my opinion, Nana should rather make English truly 'compulsory', so that every school child in Ghana can read and write good English. When this is done, Nana can introduce French/Arabic whatever.

  Kwame Nkrumah in the 60's had made French a compulsory subjects in secondary schools. But with his overthrow and a desire to obliterate every remembrance of him due to a lack of self-adequacy in his opponents, all his policies were abandoned in a knee-jerk fashion.
  I am very happy that Prez Akuffo Addo has come to realize the far-sightedness of Prez Nkrumah and want to restore this policy.

  Why lay emphasis on learning foreign languages English and French when our people are hardly literate in our own mother languages?
  
  Your mind has been colonised - free it from colonial mentality. English and French are spoken by only a minority of Ghanaians. There is no incentive to learn them, apart from being able to communicate with English and French speakers.
  
  Let us learn to take pride in what is our own.
