Produktbeschreibung

It is no gainsaying that Ghana has since independence
made significant strides in its education system.
However, any stake holder in Ghana s educational
agenda could ask, What are the emerging issues that
consistently characterize Ghana s education reform
initiatives? The answer to this question provides an
insight into why there are dismal outcomes in the
numerous educational reform efforts in Ghana to date.
This current study of education reform initiatives in
Ghana utilized a qualitative and interpretive case
study format to present a critical analysis of issues
emerging from Ghana s educational reform documents
from 1987 to 1997. In the study, it became clear that
the educational reforms of Ghana, if not all,
borrowed educational models, first from the British
and later from the United States(U.S). What is
indicative in the study is the absence of a marriage
between educational goals and inter-connected
variables in the Ghanaian society.
