Senior Presidential Advisor Yaw Osafo-Maafo has asked why Ghana keeps facing several challenges despite the number of educated individuals we have.
He also expressed questions over the quality of Ghana’s educational system.
He mentioned poor sanitation, recent flooding and its severe consequences, and the frequent damage to school roofs whenever it rains as some of the reasons for making the comments.
He made the remarks at the International Educators Summit 2024 on the theme, “Reimagining Education for the Future We Seek: Africa and the World in Dialogue.”
In his view, education should solve societal problems and not create them.
“We have a change, but that change must be manifested into solving the problems facing this country, as we go along. So, we should begin to think through education as a problem-solver for the nation.
“This is my simple message to the minister of education [Dr Yaw Osei-Adutwm], and the whole educational system. We have a myriad of problems facing us in our education system.
“Our education system and the content should aim directly at resolving these problems, simple problems like sanitation, flooding,” he opined.
