The Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon and Deputy Minister of Agriculture, John Dumelo, has called for the integration of agriculture into Ghana’s basic education curriculum.

Mr. Dumelo urged school authorities to reconsider the initiative and restructure the curriculum, believing that nurturing children in agriculture will help them envision a future career in the field.

He made these remarks while speaking at this year’s graduation ceremony of Brain Hill International School in East Legon.

 “Let’s spark their interest early,” he said. “The sooner children understand agriculture, the more likely they are to see it as a career path and a tool for national development.”

This push for practical, early-life learning was echoed by school leaders as well. The Managing Director of the school, Mary Anane Awuku, emphasized that the role of parents cannot be overstated.

“It begins at home,” she noted and added that children thrive when parents are not just providers, but active participants in their growth, we know parents are doing so well in the lives of their children but must not stop there, they need to be there every step of the way helping and guiding them when they are not in the classroom.”

In a heartfelt address, the Principal of the school, Awel Rahamani urged for a more well-rounded approach to education; one that prioritizes emotional intelligence, adaptability, and moral grounding just as much as academic performance.

“We are not only building students; we are shaping future citizens, the world is gradually shifting education from specific to holistic as it gives these kids the all rounded nature they need to thrive in the ever changing job market.”

The event brought together a diverse audience of parents, educators, policymakers, and well-wishers who came to witness the achievements of the school’s young learners. In a display that blended intellect, creativity, and youthful promise, pupils graduated from various levels — a clear reflection of the school’s commitment to academic excellence and character formation.

Other prominent individuals who were present at the ceremony are Sammi Awuku, MP,for Akuapem North and representatives from the Ministry of Education and Agriculture. They added depth to the occasion, not just through their attendance but through their calls for more purpose-driven education.

This year’s graduation wasn’t just about moving up the academic ladder. It was a celebration of community, purpose, and potential: themes that continue to define the school’s approach to learning.

Brain Hill International School continues to expand its footprint, with new campuses in East Legon and Weija, offering more children access to its rich blend of academic and life-skills education.
