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.28: Printed 'B4.6.1.1.1.2' - six segments. It follows B4.6.1.1.1 on the same page, under the same standards cell 'B4.6.1.1. Understand that there have been four Republics in Ghana', and B4 prints no other indicator under that standard. Filed as 'B4.6.1.1.2', the code its position requires; a six-segment code cannot be filed at all.
• exemplars - p.28: A stray ':' is printed on a line of its own between the indicator and 'Enquiry route:'. Not transcribed.

Enquiry route: how many Republics do we have in Ghana since 1960? Who was the leader of the third republic?
1. Differentiate between 'President' and 'Head of State'
2. Match the names of the leaders of the four Republics to the period in which they ruled
