AK Mensah Writes in Support of Universities in Ghana

Our universities in Ghana are not doing all that bad! We all started there and we got trained with the foundation! We only need restructuring of the curricula to induce highly critical and independent thinking from our students. A schooling system that aims at producing problem-solving graduates! An education where graduates see the relevance of all that is taught, and become capable of applying the knowledge in solving real societal issues!

Gideon Segbefia Shares A Touching UG Experience

I got employed in US IT industry as a programmer with a third class degree from University of Ghana, Legon. Before you say dzi kor didi, those who made second class or better from the department couldn’t apply for some IT jobs after graduation. I have worked with the best brains and did not ever find myself wanting. Yes, I had a third class partly because I stopped dubbing Maths homework assignments when I could not solve them.  Those who made second class had archives of past homework solutions handed to them by those who had passed through the system. They will copy the solutions to homework and present them for marking, they had high marks and were laughing at some of us who chose not to copy. The late professor Acheampong called me into his office and complained about my Maths grades. I told him, I am focusing on learning a skill, computer programming and not interested in a high GPA. He sacked me from his office.

Dela Coffie Writes in Support of Senyo Hosi

So much noise have been made, and sound reasoning lost in the babel of voices that have spoken to the Senyo Hosi saga. So much that the tangential matters are now the norm.

Funny enough, the same folks berating Senyo Hosi for stating the obvious are the ones praising Ashesi University for being innovative with it’s approach to tertiary education in Ghana.

That’s what Senyo Hosi is talking about! – Prof. Sianr replies Prof. Gyampo

On a lighter note, if Prof Gyampo finds Senyo Hosi’s “behaviour” as offensive, shouldn’t that remind us that that’s how we made him for three consecutive times that he came acquiring knowledge from us? Well, that’s by the way.

But what is my “colleague” Prof talking about? Is he chastising “how” Mr Senyo Hosi articulated his opinion or he is reacting to the import of his opinion? I want to believe his response is against “the how” (which in my view is debatable) and not “the import”.

If not, how do we explain to Ghanaians that, the leading University of Ghana, after 70 years is yet to produce graduates who will have answers to the following Ghanaian challenges:
