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 first: standard 'B2.2.1.1. Demonstrate knowledge of the ethnic groups in Ghana', indicator 'B2.2.1.1.1 Identify the ethnic groups in each region in Ghana'. See the second row on the same page.
