Anderson, those are good thoughts. I have no doubt you have come up with these thoughts and questions because of your experience in Canada. May your piece move all to reconsider their activities and actions. May they think not of their immediate selfish gratification but what they can do now to make the future more endurable especailly for the young and the unborn.

Ghana’s educational curriculum needs modification

Dome aged of 13, took a critical look at his dad, then said, “Papa & Mama, you are really STUPID”. Dome’s dad being a typical African, was infuriated.

He was going to beat the hell out of him but poised and pondered. Dome’s Dad latter question him, why he made such rude comment and the answer he got was very astonishing.

Dome told his dad, “I always watch them read, read and read and wondered why, they do not go out for more leisure activities, go to the beach, play football or play draft and leave the “work” to the machines! Hmmm”!!!,

The Dome’s dad curiously asked again, “what kind of machines, he was talking about”? Domes answer was swiftly, the “COMPUTER” ! There is nothing the computers can’t do, he said. “All the information you are struggling to store in your tiny little brains, according to Dome can be passed onto a COMPUTER in a MICROSECOND for answers”.

The remarks from the thirteen year old Dome now 23 years Had serious impact on his parent’s attitude towards EDUCATION in modern times. In Dome’s dad times, Donkey hours were spent on end on ASBSTRACT, COMPACTMENTALIZED AND RIGOROUS CONCEPTS, leaving very little time for application of concepts and how to solve REAL AND EXICITING PRACTICAL PROBLEMS. Dome’s dad felt very sad, as he still reflects on how, UNIVERSITY STUDENTS today, crack, their brains mastering CONCEPTS , which were developed by SCHOLARS 500 YEARS AGO!

You can today, still find PRIMARY SCHOOL AND JSS STUDENTS learning CARPENTARY in the CLASSROOMS without TOOLS & WORKSHOPS IN GHANA. Most of them can’t tell the difference between A HAMMER & A CHISESEL, let alone using them !!! Ghana produces may University Graduates, who are virtually the same. So where is the Ghana heading towards? There is a way, thanks to COMPUTERS, as DOME rightly pointed out!!

There is a saying that “there is nothing new under the sun except the UNKOWN HISTORY”. The saying is true , that is, we should remove patterns of the National CURRICULUM that ENCOURAGES ROTE MEMORY. We should leave that to the CUMPUTER. I would like all curriculum developers and EDUCATIONIST in GHANA to meet to REVIEW and REMOVE IRRELEVANT THEORETICAL aspects in our CURRICULUM With the determination of DRAWING UP a NEW CURRICULUM. A cutting edge curriculum which would be, realistic and relevant in the Millennium. We should encourage more practical projects in alliance with our ROAD SIDE ELECTRICIANS, CARPENTERS, BLACKSMITHS, and REPAIRER ANF FITTERS OUTSIDE LECTURE HALLS AND CLASSROOMS. KUMASI MAGAZINE BOYS ARE MORE SKILLFUL THAN MOST OF OUR SO CALLED PRODUCTS OF OUR UNIVERSITIES. I HAVE SEEN WITH MY OWN TWO EYES THREE GHANAIAN FITTERS BUILD A BUS BODY FROM SCRAP METALS, DID THE INTERIOR DECORATIONS, ELECTRICALS AND EFFICIENTLY FINISHED IT WITH AN ENGINE IN KOKOMPE. I WAS DISAPPOINTED, WHEN THEY LABLLED IT “MADE IN KOREA” BEFORE COMISSIONING.

Ghana needs A “Deliberate Transformational Educational Policy” (DTEP) Now! This Change can only be effected if we adopt more PRAGMATIC & REALISTIC CURRICULUM.GOVERNMENT MUST DEVELOP AN EDUCATION POLICY THAT WILL GRANT SCHOLARSHIPS AND BURSARIES TO STUDENTS WHO UNDERTAKE STEMIC COURSES AT BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES.

EQUALLY GRANT TAX HOLIDAYS TO THESES PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES WHO ENGAGES IN STEMIC COURSES.

I THINK IF GOVT FOCUSES ON SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, MATHEMATICS, INNOVATION & COMMUNICATION SUBJECTS (STEMICS), WITH SERIOUSNESS WITHOUT THE USUAL POLITICAL LIP-SERVICES, THE COUNTRY CAN BENEFIT immensely from it’s products, regardless. The old imperial system must be discarded and replaced with a more Feasible and Realistic CUURRICULUM. I am proposing 80% PRACTICALS and 20% Theory In (STEMICS) - (Accessible Electronically, Hard Covered Books Etc). By Practicals, I mean, inter- professionalcollaboration with roadside artisans who have been maginalised for far too long, but our the CONESTONE TO THE Ist WORLD we ASPIRE to BUILD!

You draw you own conclusions as the creative & critical thinker Ghana needs. Ghana needs your ideas. Please Support STEMIC HUBS to DEVELOP CUTTING EDGE life Skills and also build Contemporary STEMIC Systems In Ghana. United We Thrive!!!

Accra is full of toilet! Absolutely true, but the question you must be asking is, who put the toilet there? If those people cared a little about Accra, our capital, they would disposed of toilet properly!

The most serious poison that is kiiling us together with our descendants, something we give dead ears to and regard as unnecessary. It is something that needs prompt remedy but from the highest office to the yet unborn Ghanaian, that thing is trampled upon for the sake of self satisfaction.
If only I cared a little, I would be honest for the sake of peace because if i want to smell peace, I must know that it is truth that gives birth to peace.

Assuah, that's very thoughtful of you but you left out a very important group of people - The Clergy - genuine and fake ones. From all accounts these are the people who are causing so much harm - spiritually, physically, emotionally, psychologically and mentally to majority of the Ghanaian populace. But the government agencies are just sitting and watching them pepertuate such DESTRUCTION!!If these people CARED A LITTLE, BROKEN HOMES WOULD BE MINIMISED.
