Ghana’s educational system not solving our problems – Osafo-Maafo

Senior Presidential Advisor Yaw Osafo-Maafo has expressed concerns about Ghana's educational system, questioning why despite a high number of educated individuals, the country continues to face significant challenges.

He highlighted issues such as poor sanitation, severe consequences of recent flooding, and frequent damage to school infrastructure during rains.

Speaking at the International Educators Summit 2024, Osafo-Maafo emphasized that education should focus on solving societal problems rather than exacerbating them.

He called for a shift in educational content towards directly addressing national challenges like sanitation and flooding, urging a reimagining of education as a tool for national problem-solving.
