The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has proposed the introduction of a nationwide cultural dress day for Ghanaian students on “Our Day,” following President John Dramani Mahama’s recent appearance in a fugu during his visit to Zambia.
Speaking at the Global Closing Ceremony of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ2025), Mr. Iddrisu emphasized the need to intentionally promote indigenous culture, particularly among young people, after the international recognition President Mahama received.
“That reminds us, and probably I should get the Director General of GES to declare that on any day declared ‘OUR DAY,’ every Ghanaian learner must go in a culturally fitting dress for them to observe our day nationwide so that each culture, each society will reflect its values and culture as we observe it,” he proposed.
The initiative aims to promote cultural awareness, strengthen national unity, and ensure that the education system celebrates and respects Ghanaian traditions.
