An out-of-towner drove his car into a ditch in a desolated area. Luckily, a local farmer came to help with his big strong horse named Buddy.
He hitched Buddy up to the car and yelled, "Pull, Nellie, pull!" Buddy didn't move.
Then the farmer hollered, "Pull, Buster, pull!" Buddy didn't respond.
Once more the farmer commanded, "Pull, Coco, pull!" Nothing.
Then the farmer nonchalantly said, "Pull, Buddy, pull!" And the horse easily dragged the car out of the ditch.
The motorist was most appreciative and very curious. He asked the farmer why he called his horse by the wrong name three times.
The farmer said, "Oh, Buddy is blind and if he thought he was the only one pulling, he wouldn't even try!"

It is time to reform our secondary schools.
The world is changing real fast, and we must change with it; we need to tailor our curricula to the changes to keek pace or face outright extinction.

Thank you for asking me to explain what I mean respectfully.

Junior the accelerative pace of changes in the world now is mind boggling and we must keep up with it, or will be lost.

For example, while others are turning to the use of white board and tablets; we don't even have chalk to write on our black board. Others are using the wind, the sun, and ocean tides to generate electricity while we are struggling to use hydroelectricity to feed our national grid.

Princewilly the rate of change now is quite different than when Rome was in existence. Things moved very slowly back then. It is a mistake to compare then to now, and you know that my brother.

When NDC can give one person 50 million dollars (woyome) meant for quality education; what else do you want me to do? Tell me? Thieves!

Can someone please enlighten me on the quality education Ghanaians and Africans keep talking about????

Is it the brainwash, suppressive colonialists education system that has kept us in the doldrums for centuries that no HUMAN in the continent of ours, can realize it's NOT working for us???

Our understanding of ‘Education’ is all about perfecting other peoples ‘powerful tools’ (language) based on collecting knowledge without the basic understanding of its origins and values. It is all about aping other humans’ lifestyles, totally contrary to our cultural heritage and good traditional beliefs.
The worst of it all is that, everything is done without any practical aspects to the implementation of the theoretical side of this system of education.

So, my question is…..why do we seem surprised with the results of failure in everything we do in this our society? Can’t we think to realize that our whole approach is wrong?????

Our so-called ‘Education’ system is deeply-rooted i n the concept of reading a in book (in someone else’s language), memorizing it again, again and again, regurgitating it out of the ‘memory box’ (that is, if one has one) unto an exam paper, get good grades and eventually attain a degree/masters and forget everything after the process.

Another sequence for this kind of education system is called – ‘chew’, ‘pour’, ‘pass’ and ‘forget’ – which gives no room for any form of analytical thinking.

Ghanaians!!!! Please look closely at the professionals we've bred for centuries and tell me why we continue to live in FILTH! FILTH! FILTH!

If English was the only way to our development as a nation, why on earth do we bring in the Chinese who speak no word of English to our shores to carry out projects for us?????

Don't we have so-called educated folks in our country???

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

It is idiots like you who want to rule Nkrumah's GHANA. It is pitiful.
