Do you love music and entertainment? I ask this question on several occasions and almost always the response I get is in the affirmative. The power of music and entertainment is one that we cannot underplay.
According to a couple of researches made, extremely difficult situations can be managed by listening to good music. This strategy could be employed by teachers to explain difficult concepts to their learners, especially those in basic schools.
Furthermore, employing music and entertainment into our educational system will help increase attendance of students in class since most students find school boring. Why not make a particular day of the week a day for music and entertainment to help arouse the interest of pupils in education thereby having a positive effect on their regularity and punctuality in school.
The stress associated with going to school right from the basic level to the tertiary is something that is very disturbing. Irrespective of their ages, most people go to school from 7:00am to 4:00pm and some have to even leave home before 5:00am just to beat traffic and be in school on time. This has placed undue pressure on these young ones and even affected their performance in diverse ways. It is therefore very imperative to create entertainment periods for them to help release stress and to make them stay happy in school.
Finally, the career opportunities associated either directly or indirectly with entertainment and music is massive and also well paying if it is done properly. If music and entertainment is taken seriously in this country, it will help increase employment opportunities for the young ones in the future.
The Ghana Education Service can employ the above strategies if it really wants to make teaching and learning fun and less stressful to all parties involved.
