There has been persistent, drastic decline of schools participation in cultural festivals
for basic schools in the Effutu Municipality which is awfully affecting the beauty of
school cultural festivals. Upon this foundation, the study sought to investigate the
decline of schools participation in cultural festivals in the Effutu Municipality. The
objectives of the study were to: explore the history of the cultural festivals in Effutu
Municipality; to investigate the trend in school cultural festivals; examine challenges
of participation in cultural festivals: Suggest ways of improving participation in the
school cultural festivals. The study adopted the qualitative approach using a case
study design. Primary data were collected with the aid of interview-guide through a
focus group discussion and purposive sampling technique which targeted 21
respondents. The data was analyzed using the thematic narratives. The study
established that majority of the respondents knowledge on the history of cultural
festival was low because majority of them did not have any form of in service training
which would have helped them acquire or deepen their knowledge on school cultural
festival and its disciplines. The study concludes that the Directorate needs to assign
teachers who have adequate content knowledge in visual and performing arts to
handle disciplines in school cultural festival in our Ghanaian basic schools. The study
finally recommends that the Effutu Municipal Assembly and the Education
Directorate should design and implement training programmes that are relevant in
equipping the teachers to discharge their duties effectively. |
