In a TikTok video shared by Nänä Teä on Facebook, these pupils from Dodowa New DA Basic School showcased a rare combination of confidence, fluency, and pride in their heritage.

The term saito has long been synonymous with Ghana’s government-funded primary schools, where fees, textbooks, and other essentials are provided by the state.

Yet over the years, some of these schools lost public confidence, with parents fearing that their children might not receive a top-notch education or master English, a global language.
