Education in Ghana!!

Education in Ghana has agreeably and without a doubt come very far. It is a known fact that the educational system in the country fifty years ago is not the same as what we have today. 

However as a people, I continue to wonder whether we have clearly identified what our needs are and so placing emphasis on them in our curricula to train more people who will ensure that these needs are met.

If there is any truth in the Akan proverb that, "agoro beso a efiri anopa" which renders thus, the success of the game is dependent on morning, then I must hasten to say that our poor educational system is at the primary level. 

The question is asked, 'what are the essential ingredients that make up a person qualified for success in the corporate world and national development agenda?'

I identify four of the numerous ingredients:

*Good Communication Skills (language)

*Good Analytical Skills (Reasoning)

*Innovation (Creativity)

*Confidence

How effectively are the above incorporated in our basic education?

Hmm... You will now agree with me how we really need to do more.
