| Abstract: |
The importance of providing learning experiences that enable the African child to acquire knowledge and understanding of the traditional music, dance, and drama of their environment and those of their neighbors’ is now generally recognized. However, for a while, without this preparation, they will not be able to participate in the life of the communities to which they belong. This study was conducted to look at the status of performing arts education in public primary schools within the Sunyani Municipality. A descriptive survey was used for this study. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect information from 40 (30 teachers and 10 head teachers) participants. The teachers and head teachers were selected using purposive sampling techniques, respectively. The interview scripts were interpreted using an inductive data analysis technique to identify themes. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v. 24) was used for the quantitative data. The study showed that there is insufficient time allocated for performing arts in the school schedule, lack of available resources (e.g., instruments, textbooks, materials) to support performing arts, and teachers receive insufficient training and professional development in performing arts. It is therefore recommended that the challenges hindering the effective teaching and learning of the performing arts strands and the Creative Arts in the public basic schools be addressed to elevate the status of arts education in the municipality. |
