GOODBYE COCKCROW: Meet 'The Beacon of Light. The New Literature Text Replacing Cockcrow in Ghanaian Junior High Schools


Are you familiar with the literature text "Cockcrow" that has been used in Ghanaian Junior High Schools for over 15 years? Well, it's time to say goodbye to "Cockcrow" and hello to "The Beacon of Light", the new literature text approved by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA).

What's "The Beacon of Light"?

"The Beacon of Light" is a new literature book authored by Joshlyn Yayra Diabo, Adam Ankrah, Bryte Okrah, and Lucas Zanyoh. It's designed to promote critical thinking, problem-solving, literacy, and moral values among young learners. The book is intended to complement the core instructional materials and provide teachers with additional content to enrich the classroom experience.

Why Replace "Cockcrow"?

"Cockcrow" has been in use for over 15 years, and while it has served its purpose, it has become outdated. The new book, "The Beacon of Light", offers a fresh and engaging literary experience that aligns with the Standard-Based Curriculum. It's a welcome update that will enhance the quality of education in Ghanaian Junior High Schools.

What to Expect from "The Beacon of Light"?

"The Beacon of Light" comes with an accompanying resource called "The Beacon of Light Commentary", authored by Victoria Stevens, Dr. Jemima Larteley Mensah, and Very Rev. Ebo Ephraim. This commentary provides an in-depth analysis of the book's contents, offering deeper insights to enhance understanding.

Importance of "The Beacon of Light"

The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA), West Africa Examination Council (WAEC), and the Ghana Education Service (GES) are all confident that "The Beacon of Light" will significantly improve the quality of education in schools. The book is recommended to be studied as part of the English Language Curriculum, and teachers preparing learners for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in 2027 should note that "The Beacon of Light" will be examined.

Call to Action

We encourage all stakeholders, including parents and guardians, to support learners in accessing copies of "The Beacon of Light". This new literature text has the potential to make a positive impact on the education sector in Ghana, and we're excited to see the benefits it will bring to learners and teachers alike.
