Eps The Beacon of Light: NaCCA Approved Literature Textbook for Junior High Schools in Ghana

After more than 15 years, Ghana's Junior High Schools have a new official literature textbook, and it is one that every JHS student, teacher, and parent needs to have. The Beacon of Light is the officially approved literature text for Junior High Schools across Ghana, replacing the long-serving Cockcrow as the prescribed literature book for the BECE examination from 2027 onwards. 

Approved by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA), endorsed by the Ghana Education Service (GES), and aligned with the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) assessment requirements, this book is not just a textbook, it is the most essential academic purchase any JHS student in Ghana will make.

The Beacon of Light was authored by a talented team of four Ghanaian writers, Joshlyn Yayra Diabo, Adam Ankrah, Bryte Okrah, and Lucas Zanyoh and published by ELCO and EPS. The authors, drawing from deep experience in Ghanaian education and literature, have crafted a collection of stories, poems, and plays that are culturally relevant, intellectually engaging, and designed to promote critical thinking, creative expression, moral values, and cultural awareness in every JHS learner across the country.

What You'll Learn:

• A carefully curated collection of short stories, poems, and plays aligned with Ghana's Standard-Based Curriculum, designed to develop strong literary skills and a genuine love of reading and writing
• Critical thinking and literary analysis skills that will prepare every JHS student to excel in both classroom assessments and the BECE examination from 2027 onwards
• Opportunities for creative writing and self-expression, helping students develop their own voices and confidence as communicators in English
• Cultural awareness, moral values, and a sense of Ghanaian identity through texts that reflect the diversity, beauty, and richness of life across Ghana and Africa
• A comprehensive foundation in English Literature that meets all NaCCA, GES, and WAEC curriculum requirements for Junior High School learners in Ghana

Perfect For: JHS 1, 2, and 3 students across Ghana, English Literature teachers, school administrators, and parents who want to ensure their children have the officially approved and curriculum-aligned literature textbook needed for academic success and BECE preparation.
