Mother goes after GES after seeing Yemi Alade’s “Johnny” lyrics in her daughter’s Primary 3 Creative Arts Book
A concerned mother addressed a critical issue on her TikTok page about an oddity she discovered in her 6-year-old daughter’s Creative Arts Textbook.
In a world where dynamism is always welcomed in all aspects of life, music has been added to the Creative Arts, Primary Syllabus, but there’s a certain part where authors choose to write some lyrics for the students to learn and assess them together with their facilitators.
