Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, has announced plans by the government to change the brown and yellow uniforms worn by basic school children in the country. He announced it at a forum dubbed ‘The Free SHS story’ in Accra on April 25, 2024.
According to the minister, this is part of the Nana Akufo-Addo-led government’s many transformational initiatives to revive basic school education and make it attractive.
“We are changing the uniforms of public basic schools in the country. The yellow and brown that you see now, you will see no more. Reformation is coming to a community near you, and you will see it,” he announced.
Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum also announced plans to change the colour of basic school buildings in the country.
“We are switching to blue and white. We are painting all the schools to give it an attractive outlook. This is the transformation Ghana deserves and it is coming,” he emphasized.
