  If really what was published isn't true, legal action must take it course in order for the daily guide uncover it sources for publishing such.

  Yes, dictionaries are good for pupils especially considering the poverty levels in the country, but we still need to know how much is being spent and who is publishing these dictionaries.

  The Computers that they stocked the Schools with a couple of years ago can be used for such purpose and the Money spent on more pressing matters.
  
  If, indeed, dictionaries were last bought in 2005/2006, must they necessarily be bought SO CLOSE to an ELECTION when the Country is BROKE?
  
  Or, we are looking for ways to scheme for funds towards the election.

  Flamboyant, did u read the start? If u did then your teacher did a bad job on u for comprehension. The rejoinder says the ministry is in the process of floating bids or tenders. How can u know the true cost when u have not floated bids and received same from prospective publishers? Pls lets all help useless papers like daily guide, chronicle, lens, democrat and Alhaj to reform and publish truths. God bless Ghana

  Will the ministry also say whether it still plans to use the mother tongue as the medium of instruction in schools. if so, there should also be plans to provide textbooks written in Ghanaian dialects.
