Abstract :
21st century skills are known among all educational stakeholder as relevant skill for success in modern Global and technological age. There have been extensive studies regarding these skills and their role in effective articulation in this age. Education, the channel of transfer of knowledge and skills must be able to serve the purpose of imbibing the 21st century skill set in addition to specific knowledge in various fields of study. However, this integration is intrinsically missing in the Ghanaian educational system. For this Qualitative enquiry, ten experts in Education (3 Curriculum Developer, 1 Educational Technologist and 6 ICT Teachers were purposively sampled) for this study. Analysis of results reveals the absence of 21st century skills integration activities in the Ghanaian Basic Education system. This paper presents findings of the investigation into content and teaching of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) and Basic Design and Technology (BDT), in Ghanaian basic schools.
