The Ghana Education Service (GES) has outdoored a new set of school uniforms for students in public Junior High Schools, (JHS).
The Director General of GES, Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa at a press briefing, on Thursday, introduced the new uniform to journalists in Accra.
They come with four features including the Ghana Flag, a certificate, a graduation cap.
According to Prof. Opoku-Amankwa, the move to introduce new uniforms is to make the students at JHS level to start seeing themselves as Senior High School students.
Saying: “The idea is to psychologically let them see themselves as secondary students.”
According to him, the rationale for placing a Ghanaian flag on the uniforms is to symbolize nationalism and promote a sense of belonging.
The graduation cap, he said, symbolises intellectualism.
