ORGANISATION IN ELEMENTARY FORM

As we journey towards the day when the utilisation of the natural language to educate Ghanaian students will be possible, which will mean making it available to employ the Ashanti language in the same level as the English language in order to educate our children, we may also need to balance the deficiency, I think, we have concerning organisation. The climate of our environments makes it such that one becomes relax too much and, often as a result, becomes slow towards how to organise oneself to meet the needs of life. Now, this is not an illness but something one might call a need to change attitude towards the way things are performed or carried out in the environments. It makes one becomes efficient and capable of accomplishing essential needs of the moment and also rationalises towards things pertaining to the future. Naturally, the question of how this deficiency has originated and how it can be overcome in this modern life has to do with the mastering of the problems relating to the climates and the environments of the human organism.

Organisation refers to the human organism's manner of making adequate preparation to deal with certain problems that surround him that give him the power to accomplish them or meet them. It is being able to deal with challenges that individuals face in their daily lives and able to master them correctly. With adequate skills of organisation, an individual is capable of overcoming new problems that often confront him. It shows the awareness that one is a human being and as a result one is bound to encounter things that will present challenges, but since he has gathered enough experience from prior encounters, he is in a better position to encounter this new challenges or events and deal with them. This show that those things that come usually present some threat or distress but the fact that these challenging experiences or events come should not let the individual become tired or loosed hope or control, instead there is a daring try with certain methods that he has learned from experiences to overcome these predicaments.

Nature has blessed mankind with riches and abundance of different resources that human beings find them everywhere on the planet. In those parts of earth where these things are in abundance, people tend to take things for granted and hardly recognise how lucky they are to find these things around or present. The sudden vanishing of these things or sudden destruction causing the disappearance of these things often tend to bring stress and disappointment that people begin to wonder how they can replace these things they had become accustomed to using, and now they are no longer present. This distress makes individuals commence to think not only how they could replace them, but also how they could maintain these things if ever they have the chance to acquire them back. So it is the changes in some things that usually make people to either miss something or remember the comfort something used to give them.

This simple form of organisation to take care of something that does not remain there all the time makes some people to become proficient in recognising the taken-for-granted things we have in our vicinity such as trees, flowers, food, and many other things concerning nature. This means that when people do not experience the changes of these things normally seen around them, they hardly pause to think about them and probably appreciate their presence in their lives. It is as a result of this common example that people that live in the climates where things and nature do not remain the same all year round could appreciate these things more than those that have them in abundance all the year round. It sparks off the instinct of developing the power of observation and the need to organise oneself to deal with these inadequacies of nature or abundance of everything. Simply put, people living in these climatic regions where there are more than one season, will tend to spend sometime wondering about this anomaly nature presents to them. The root of organisation concerning how to handle these things or deal with these things put those in these seasonal climates to be more stressful and a clear yearn to deal with these irregularities of nature. While those that hardly experience these things see no major problem and go by without worrying about observation and even asking certain questions regarding the alternation and existence of these things in the first place.

In the attempt to educate their children as early as pre-school, people from the uniformed climate use science to introduce the study about nature and the things about human knowledge. The students learn these rudiments which compensate the inability to ask certain questions due to the vicinity of the pupil/student and what makes the deficiency occurring in his climate. But in terms of human organisation which has a deep impact on the children in those with four seasonal climates where this is inherent in their attitudes, they are neglected in those with uniformed climate where this is lacking. As this is not genuinely presented to these children in schools, they grow to lack this behaviour of organisation which is a necessary ingredient in life and the overall success of mankind in surmounting basic problems of life. No wonder the children of this latter climate tend to perform very bad in terms of how to organise their lives in their environments and deal with certain pressing problems that are intimately connected with themselves and their uniformed climate. It is therefore utmost importance that as early as pre-school children are introduced to the manner human beings organise their lives and respond to pressing problems in order to compensate this deficiency.

Therefore, organisation of human behaviour in their surroundings should be a priority in the early school years of the children of Africa, where the uniform climate and weather conditions do not challenge the minds of individuals to possess the inquiring and organising minds. It should be the priority of educational institutions to commence this early, and not only that, but I also propose that the Government of Ghana should make it a requirement that the study of human organisation behaviour should be part of the education curriculum and should be a required course or subject from the early years up to the university level/education.

Also the need to utilise the natural language of the people is important because it will provide the student the unique possibility to become self-confident, which is lacking in many of our pupils due to the fact that they are required to use a language foreign to them that they have no good teacher who has it as his/her mother tongue. The inability to comprehend perfectly well this language affects the IQ level of these students and, consequently, makes them not fully or adequately prepared to live and enjoy educational life. It breeds ignorance in the larger society which consequently makes people miserable.

With the use of this blood language or natural language at school as early as pre-school, and the introduction of human organisation behaviour as a subject, Ghanaian students will excel like all other students in the civilised world. A student will be confident and capable of meeting the needs of all that are required of all students in the particular field he is studying. They shall not become naive societies of Africans but will be capable of meeting the needs of today and the future world of technology.

In conclusion, it can be pointed out that how to organise one's life in the environment one lives and the possibility of achieving immeasurable self-confidence due to the employment of the natural language should be the prior thoughts of all educationists in Ghanaian schools.
