Another Ploy to Short Change our Education system

Changing Ghana Education System will not solve our ailing educational system, adopting a high school system in Ghana is a joke, please our well meaning politicians if you deemed it fit to emulate a foreign system of education please do your homework very well e.g. the US Corporate Gurus are investing in India and Asia Educational systems, Why? I think because their educational systems are viewed as the best in the world, therefore why don’t we follow their systems?

Most US Scientist, Doctors are Asian and India decent or even our next door sister state Nigeria dominate the pharmacology or pharmacist work-force of the west, we can learn from them as well.

Please stop fooling us about our educational system and deal with the hardcore issues contributing to the decline in the system of our primary education. Pay these teachers a better living wage, give them better accommodations, minimal form of transportation e.g. bicycles or motorbikes and most of all adequate teaching and learning materials. Get off your fat salaries and do right by our educational system.

Your so called ploy to adopt a high school system is another way to shortchange the very system you proclaim to defend, because such change require a budget that will end up in the fat bank account of all panel participants. Wake-up good citizens of Ghana and tell our politicians to infuse capital in our ailing education system, we don’t need any fancy name what we need is real capital investment, better living wage for teachers, good accommodation, transportation and most of all adequate teaching and learning materials. God bless Ghana and my Anlo constituency.
