Ghana's educational system lacks substance – Rawlings

Former President Jerry John Rawlings

Former President Jerry John Rawlings has described the educational system in Ghana as lacking substance and essence.

He said at a time when the country was inundated with so many universities the quality of education has dwindled churning out superficial graduates every year.

Mr Rawlings said although the educational system in the country had transformed over the years the standard had fallen with graduates becoming a liability to the economy.

This he explained was due to the fact that students lack the political will to utilise and implement what they learn in school.


Speaking at a meeting with Cuba trained Ghanaian professionals who paid a courtesy call on him at his office in Accra on Tuesday, Mr Rawlings said Cuba was a shining example when it comes to education especially in their efforts at training medical doctors and other professionals throughout the world.
