The Chief of Staff’s comment that Arabic will be made an “examinable” subject in schools from next year has been misinterpreted, presidential staffer Emelia Arthur has said.
Mr Julius Debrah, during an interaction with the Muslim Community at Nsawam Zongo, as part of his campaign tour of the Eastern Region said “President Mahama has agreed that from 2017, Senior High School students will study Arabic like they do in the English language.”
However, Ms Arthur has told journalists that: “The chief of staff did not use the word compulsory, he did not say that the government will make Arabic a compulsory subject.”
“The chief of staff said that government is considering making Arabic an examinable subject. An examinable subject, optional, not compulsory,” she said.
Meanwhile, the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has accused the governing NDC of plagiarising its policy on Arabic.

A confused government. So is this the government that want to be in power at all cost by hiring thugs to kill and maim those who disagree with them? When they are told they are incompetent they take it as insult if this is not incompetency then what? Prof.Patrice Lumumba has warned Africans to examine people they choose to lead them,he said if you choose a pauper into office and you see them building mansions and riding in V8s ask them where they got the money from,he said investigate and prosecute them if found to have have their hands in the nation's cookie jar,so what are you in the ndc afraid off if you did a good job?why are you killing and maiming Ghanaians if you are honest? Is parliament the only job to do to survive?is the presidency the only job to live? So why all these criminal and evil thing ndc are doing? If violence wins elections NPP would never have come to power and I don't think your violence which everyone around the globe knows you to be which even placed the ndc on the list of potential terrorist who were being watched carefully will win you this election. Thank God anytime ndc starts with their electoral terrorism a no ***barred word*** American wins the White house. I know Trump has no way for violence in Africa,he once said African leaders make their people slaves by ste*ling and terrorizing them. NDC will GO by HOOK or Cro*k. We can't take any more of paupers taking control of our country and Lording themselves over us and practicing selective justice. NDC MUST GO ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
