Under the proposed partnership, NaCCA will lead curriculum design to embed practical fire safety modules, including causes of domestic fires, safe use of gas and electrical appliances, evacuation procedures and how to call for help. GES will oversee teacher training and rollout across public and private basic schools, while GNFS will provide technical expertise, learning materials and demonstration equipment to ensure children learn by doing.
The GNFS says integrating fire safety at basic level will reduce fire incidents, save lives and build a generation that is safety-conscious. The Service noted that many domestic fires in Ghana result from lack of early education, and that teaching children prevention and emergency response from early age is more effective than adult sensitization alone after disasters occur.
Howedey.com will provide exclusive updates on the GNFS, GES, NaCCA and Ulster University fire safety curriculum integration and its impact on basic schools nationwide.
