Source document note

The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

• indicator text - p.10: Printed page 10 carries two different content standards, both coded 'B2.2.1.1.', and two different indicators, both coded 'B2.2.1.1.1'. This is the second: standard 'B2.2.1.1. Show understanding of the characteristics of some of the ethnic groups in Ghana', indicator 'B2.2.1.1.1 State the characteristics of the ethnic groups in Ghana'. Both codes are transcribed as printed; a human must renumber one of them before import. Sub-strand 2.1 has no B2.2.1.2 and no B2.2.1.1.2 anywhere in the document.
