Ghanaians are doing better than you by a wide gulf. Use your own advice.

More iron deposits have been discovered at Nkwanta in the Oti Region, according to a deputy Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Benito Owusu-Bio.

In October, iron ore was discovered in 5 districts in the oti region.

Dr Adutwum is a brilliant passionate educator. I hope he is putting systems in place. Not building one block of school at a time. From the video - I dont get the policy - that would live post his tenure. He is building few model schools. He isnt focusing on policy - like improving teaching education standards - changing school curriculum - investing in technology/internet - and other policies that can be sustained once he is out of the ministry

if you listened, you would have gotten the policy.
Making 60% of high school students do sTEM related courses and 40% into the various humanities.
High schools already have internet here.

Also, Ghanaian high school don't build one blocks.. it's an entire complexes with boarding houses, dining halls, Assembly halls, sporting facilities and various labs..

he's always arguing with countries that are far better than his in the very things he seek to discuss.

The policy is how to make that happen. The goal is there...but what is policy to ensure 60% of student study STEMS?
Boarding schools is waste of gov money and a horrible British policy that need to go.
Why would you waste money building all the boarding facilities when every kid has home and a bed?
95% of schools should be day school.
Boarding schools should only be built for special cases...like army or police kids.
British build boarding school because that tiny Island people were likely to be out in the world colonizing it - so parents need a place to keep the kids - as they were going to be in Ghana or India or Kenya - now why would Ghanian or Kenya takes his kids to boarding school while he will likely be home forever?

Improve all day schools to have the same standard of education - by using that boarding money - to build model day schools.

In 3 years, the people you live with become your family.

In the face of lower govt funding, Alumni support is strong because people remain attached to Thier high schools for life.

How they are doing that is in the new curriculum they've already introduced.. introducing various new STEM related courses.

About 80% of secondary schools here already have science resource centers.. They are adding various new labs to the existing schools to make it possible.. All is already in the video.


How do kids in Turkana attend high school when the computer school selection system place them in a school in Nairobi?

In Ghana, by the time kids reach high school level, they are already seeking freedom from their parents and boarding schools provide that for them. If you Interview any high school kid here 97% of them will tell you they prefer boarding school.
By the time they come out of boarding school, they are already mature students.

This boarding obsession is a British policy you inherited.
Elsewhere in the world boarding schools are unheard of.
Kids should stay with their parents until they are mature.
Once they are 18yrs - they can go to universities and colleges - stay in hostels or not - and achieve those things.
Kenya began from there - but we long realized it horrible decision - with kids burning schools, becoming gay (most of them are same sex boarding school), name them, they pick all the wrong things; get stressed, bullied, beaten; while they should be with their parents; and it expensive to house and feed them.
Kenya is moving away from this - and now 70% of all secondary schools are day school.
Gov is encouraging day school by ensuring those who choose to go to day are 100% funded.
Those that go to boarding school - have to pay for their boarding - gov will only pay their tuition.

According to the report, boarding facilities will be reserved for a few institutions that will
admit learners across the country to pursue various pathways in senior secondary schools as
envisioned under the new system. Using this model, learners will spend two years in pre-primary
education, six in primary, three in junior secondary, three in senior secondary school and another
three in university (tertiary institution), dubbed 2-6-3-3-3 education system. All children leaving
Grade Six, at the end of primary education, will be required to enroll in a nearby secondary school
for the three-year junior secondary education (Grades 7, 8 and 9), which will be domiciled at the
high school level. Students will be required to enroll in secondary schools within a radius of about
five kilometers from their place of residence. The recommendation was based on the understanding
that most primary schools have a nearby secondary school, making it easier to transition children
to available spaces in adjacent facilities.

Now it's Ghanaian and it is an important part of our education. We will keep it because it does more good for us.

65% of high schools here are mixed sex schools

Theres no way someone in Accra who has had all his schooling in Accra, choose a High school in Accra again... Theyll mostly choose high schools in Cape Coast or somewhere in the Eastern Region or the Ashanti Region.

Kumasi people usually prefer Accra, Eastern, Cape Coast or Western Region high schools and the same goes for kids in Northern Ghana.

Everyone parents sleep knowing that their kids are in better hands here.


Why are kids in Kenya single sex schools thinking about what gender they are, when they should be focusing on learning?
Meanwhile in Ghana, single sex schools turn to produce the best results.

Some of the greatest challenge with kids here has to do with whether they want a single sex school or a mixed sex schools.
The other has to do with which region they want to attend school in.

No wonder you Kenyans are always fighting, you really hadn't taken your time to foster national unity.

These are teens - 14-18 - and body biology doesnt respect academic calender. Most girls are super fertile at 15yrs. Boys at 17-19yrs are at their best sex life - testorone production at it highest. You keep them in boarding - they will be raging.

I don't dispute it. Why would I? They are supposed to be far ahead with their gold, aluminum, arable land, river volta and name it. They should be up there with Botswana, South Africa and Namibia. But Ghana and Kenya have the same level - HDI wise - kenya is slightly behind but the same league.

South Africa and Namibia are in different league. Mauritus has become africa first developed country.

Nigeria with all that oil and gas - should not be at the bottom.

Not neccesarily. Kenya golden boxing era was in 1980s-1990s but we dont have the wealth to graduate it to professional boxing. Kenya won commonwealth boxing four times. And use to dominate in Africa like nothing.

In 1987 Kenya Hit Squad won all the boxing golds

Kenya’s gold medalists on that occasion were:

Light Welterweight David “DK” Kamau Towedros Michiku of Ethiopia
Bantamweight Stephen Mwema, who beat Ndaba Dube of Zimbabwe
Featherweight Patrick “Mont” Waweru who beat Charles Lubulwa of Uganda
Lightweight John Wanjau, who beat Haritora Rapotamanga of Madagscar
Light Flyweight Maurice Maina, who beat Emmanuel Nsubuga of Uganda
Mohammed “Body” Orungi, who beat Martin Nougle of Nigeria
Welterweight Robert Wangila, who beat Sahelu Mekuria of Ethiopia
Superheavyweight Chris Odera who beat Tschibalala Kadima of Zaire.

We spend on 2 billion Cedis on High school education.. that's is peanuts money..

Actually it is not even on the top 100 reason why we currently have a financial challenge.

Funny enough the least thing we were all thinking about in high school was how we were going to get the best grades in a highly competitive educational system that we had and not sex.

I guess you were busy thinking about sex and that is why you ended up poorly educated.

Kenya usually poorly implement stuff and that is why your kids are busily sex active in high school and even on campus.

In Ghana, by 6.30am, everyone has left the boarding house.
From 6.30 to 7am is quiet time before classes begins at 7.30am
9.00am you go for breakfast in the dinning hall
12.00pm you go for lunch
School closed at 3pm

By 3.30pm is quiet time at the dormitory because people are expected to be taking a nap and if you don't want to, you can go and play football or some other sport away from the dormitory.

By 5.30pm everyone is expected to have finished bathing and left the dormitory.
6.00pm is supper time at the dinning hall.

By 7pm which is siesta time, everyone is supposed to be in the classroom learning on their own.
9.00pm siesta is over by 9.30pm everyone should be in their various dorms and certain houses in the dorms choose random times to run roll calls, if you're not in your dorm by roll call and have no real reason why you missed roll call, suspension.
10pm lights are put out in the dormitories by the seniors.

If you want to learn throughout the night you can head to the nearest classroom block by your dormitory.

all mining activities only contribute 10% to Ghana's GDP

Mining is not what make a country successful.. look for another excuse for why Kenya is below.

Kenya has access to various huge lakes and various resources which include oil and gas and literally sitting on an Aquifer.

Namibia is below Ghana just like Kenya.

What you describe as schedule of boarding school would not even pass for lower primary boarding in kenya.

No wonder even basic English grammar is challenge to almost all Ghanians here.

My friend - kenyans study - and study the hardest in Africa. Only Chinese and Indians maybe study more.

What you describe I repeat is the most laziest school program I know of.

Kenya kids wake up earliest 3am - latest 5am - in my school we woke up 4:45am - you have 15 minutes to shower and show up in dinning hall - by 5:15 am we are in class - sometimes lesson start as early as 6am; We have tea break of 30mins at 10; then 1hr lunch break; classes until 5pm; then 1hour sports break; 30mins for super; 7 am sharp - back to class - until 10. You walk to dormitory and prepare to sleep - by 11pm.

Day schools kids do the same - they are out by 5am - including primary.

Nobody in Africa studies like kenya kids. Right from lower primary kids study hard - I have been to many african countries - at least southern and eastern africa - there is almost nothing like that.

In kenya you will find 6yr old kid walking to school before dawn.
See here - it's 3am - and kids are up. Most secondary schools with candidate for exams - generally kids sleep for 5hrs - or even less.

Yet the Ghanaians here speak better English and have better understanding than all the Kenyans here.

As we've all been saying, the educational system in Kenya failed you guys.

Yet Kenyan students are least competitive when we all meet at universities outside. Your school leaving certs ain't even recognized outside.

Waking up at 3am is the reason why Kenyan Brian's are poorly developed. You guys are sleep deprived
8 hours of sleep is good for everyone.

You'll only see high school students depriving themselves of sleep in Ghana when they are about to write the school leaving exams.

No wonder you guys fail your KCSE massively..it should show in your outcomes

In Ghana, you don't have to leave that early because your school is not 5-10km away like in Kenya.
You just have to walk for 2 minutes and you're already in class.
That's the benefit of boarding school

How Kenya Now Leads The World In Enabling Contract Cheating
Filed under CONTRACT CHEATING{6 COMMENTS}
My research into contract cheating, dating right back to when I first publicised the threat this poses to academic standards in 2006, has identified worldwide hot spots of individuals enabling contract cheating. These hot spots are international locations with essay mill companies and individual writers keen to make money by helping other people to cheat. They also represent locations where the income from enabling contract cheating is very good by local standards.

I mentioned the countries where contract cheating enabling is prevalent, such as Kenya, India and Pakistan, in this 2016 article for The Guardian. Indeed, I witnessed the growth of the essay writing industry in Kenya between 2006 and 2016, as evidenced, for instance in these 2016 slides, where I showed that the people bidding to complete low level academic work on Freelancer.com were coming mainly from India, Kenya, Pakistan and Morocco.

Contract Cheating Writers Based In Kenya
My recent paper looking at the ghost writers working internationally in the contract cheating industry found that the majority of writers for contract cheating companies were based in Kenya. The real percentage may be higher than I found, as some workers seemed to be disguising their location, perhaps pretending they were in a country their essay buyers would consider more desirable, such as the United States.

The Chronicle of Higher Education also explored contract cheating in Kenya, demonstrating what big business this type of work had become in a country where poverty is common.

In every apartment building in Nairobi, you could find two, three writers.

The Chronicle source too found writers told not to reveal that they were from Kenya and to instead pretend they were British or American. The fact that many essay mills really use writers from Kenya is a (not so well hidden) secret in the essay industry.

rvp20182:
A kenyan would not make such a random baseless statement. It reflect poorly on you.

That is just fact
You won't find a Kenya being the best in a field and competing globally, anywhere in the world including in Kenya.

Your students performing poor in universities outside...

And why are you in this thread if HDI is the measure - your lost before we began.
