Vice President Jane Opoku-Agyemang calls for accurate teaching of slavery history in schools
The call forms part of Ghana’s broader push following the UN resolution, with the government now turning attention to education, preservation, restitution, legal pathways and sustained international engagement on reparatory justice.
She said that the history must be accurately reflected in education systems and linked to the broader international conversation on reparatory justice.
Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has called for a major rethink of how the history of the transatlantic slave trade is taught, insisting that young people must understand both the devastation it caused and the resistance of Africans.
