Ghana's Educational System Has Produced Great People, But Must Be Reviewed Constantly- Former President Kufour

ormer President John Agyekum Kufour is convinced that Ghana's educational system is not entirely bad but requires constant review to ensure that the graduates who come out from the system are analytical and better understand the world.

According to him, Ghanaians who are products of the system in various parts of the world perform excellently which is an indication that the system is not entirely bad however, it requires regular review.

“Wherever you go internationally, you meet a Ghanaian who has had all his education here before going out and he is performing as good as anybody from anywhere else, meaning perhaps the fault may not be in the system so much as in the opportunities we do not give ourselves in the country,” he said.

He was speaking at an event held at his residence in Accra on leadership and the future of Africa on Wednesday, 9th November 9, 2016.

Kufour said, although the country has produced great people, its system must undergo constant review to ensure that it is producing graduates who can compete globally.

“We need always to keep on reviewing the educational systems because of technological improvements and advancement. Don’t let us throw out what we have but let’s keep reviewing it in the light of technological advancement coming and also with the opening up of the world,” he added.
