ESSENTIAL Primary Catalogue For the 2019 NaCCA curriculum
Dear Principal
Contents
Announcing the new ESSENTIAL series developed specifically for the new Ghanaian primary curriculum NNF Esquire together with Cambridge University Press, have worked with a team of experienced and skilled local Ghanaian authors, to develop a range of comprehensive, quality resources for the new primary curriculum, which was introduced by the Ministry of Education last year. We are delighted to announce that all of the resources listed in this catalogue have been approved by NaCCA (National Council for Curriculum and Assessment) and will be available in Ghana at the start of the 2020 school year in September. Mindful of the disruption to education experienced by all of us during the COVID-19 crisis, we have also developed digital versions of our print Learner’s Books and Teacher’s Guides. Information about these can be obtained from the Cambridge University Press website: www.cambridge.org/gh/education.
