    And this Adutwum was an NPP minister of education under Nana Addo? These are the square pegs in round holes who were ruining Ghana.

    This discussion is much broader than the scanty debate on Ghanaweb. In Ghana at the moment useless, empty, ignorant and largely uneducated bloggers are the ones analyzing financial, economic and development issues. Such menta ...

    @ Kojo, I agree with you intoto. They're all sick in the head. In today's ever evolving and dynamic global world, all those degrees are useless. How do they place us strategically to compete?

    It was a big mistake for Adutwum to become the education minister. He brought Ghana's education down by producing weak students relying on past questions to pass, and he still wants to destroy higher education. No way. JJ bou ...

    Why is DR. Adutwum saying now. What did he do when he was the minister of education for four years? Hypocrisy will kill Ghanaians.
