The study examines the challenges and opportunities of the Creative Arts and Design (CAD) curriculum in Ghana's Wa East District, using an evaluative single-case study. Thematic analysis of triangulated data generated from 30 maximally varied samples, all of whom gave informed consent. The study reveals challenges in implementing the Creative Arts and Design Curriculum in Wa East District due to inadequate professional art educators, low teacher interest, and inadequate art tools, materials, and equipment. Although the CAD curriculum fosters self-confidence, self-employment, life-preparedness, practical skills, creativity, and cultural, and digital literacy among students, the study recommends that the District Director, SISOs, and headteachers should organise bi-termly continuous professional development training programmes for CAD teachers to enhance their pedagogical content knowledge and practical skills.
