| dc.description.abstract | Cultural Education Unit has been in existence for many years but it is rather unfortunate whenever the units are mention in Ghana Education Service about its functions, most officers, teachers and pupils/students think of only “drumming and dancing”. When a cultural Co-ordinator introduces himself/herself at any gathering, the next question mostly asked is “so do you know how to dance?”, meaning people in society also associate the name culture with “drumming and dancing” which is just an aspect of the activities of the Cultural Education Units. This research is aimed at creating awareness on the mandate and operations of the Cultural Education Units and also evaluates their operations in the Brong Ahafo region of Ghana. Due to the fact that, the Cultural Education Units in Brong Ahafo region have not been evaluated for the past twenty (20) years, related literature reviewed were selected from academic resources which concentrated on Culture and its Characteristics, Rationale for the Cultural Education Units, Agents for Cultural Education Units, Concepts of Evaluation, Theories and Models of Evaluation to better understand; how the units have been composed, how they operate and how best to evaluate their operations. In so doing, descriptive and evaluation research design under the qualitative method were used for the study. The population for the study consisted of Cultural Co-ordinators, Cultural Teachers and Artists. Simple random sampling and purposive sampling technique were used in the study. Interview and Observation were the main data collection instruments used. Results of the study showed that the Cultural Education Units are in the twenty-seven administrative Municipalities/Districts with their Regional Unit in the Regional Education Office at Sunyani. The study brought to the light Cultural Education Unit‟s goals, visibility, impact, efficiency and contribution to education in the nation. Finally, the Cultural Education Units should inform and educate stakeholders about their operations and also develop a policy that will state when and how evaluation of the units would be carried out | en_US |
