“…In simple terms, pre-tertiary education is explained to mean a kind of education learners are espoused to before or before tertiary education. Pre-tertiary education is a system of education that is designed to prepare and equip Ghanaian students with the requisite knowledge and experiences for their successful transition into tertiary (Opoku-Amankwa et al, 2015) educational institutions or for early entry into the world of work (Ministry of Education, 2018).

Ghana’s educational reforms are mostly influenced or initiated by politicians. The concept of politics is a means to an end and not an end in itself. This is experienced as a result of the cascading effect of the power of the macro level of curriculum theory to its micro level. These results are a direct reflection of Ghana's political and governmental structure. In most cases, a program's curriculum becomes less adaptable the more it is portrayed as an official document outlining the results and demands that must be accomplished. The under-listed topics, however, form part of the politics of curriculum theory in Ghana’s pre-tertiary educational system. A typical example is the duration of senior high school education. This paper provided enough evidence to espouse the role of politics in curriculum theory with a focus on the narrow and broad conception of politics. Similarly, it brings to bear the consequences of political power if left and checked coupled with some recommendations. The study uses a conceptual methodology aimed at developing and applying the politics of curriculum theory to the pre-tertiary education system in Ghana.
