Education as i know is one of the strong pillars holding every nation or country. From the little history i know, education and even writing started in Africa specifically Egypt and it wen through Africa to Ethiopia to it even reached Europe and America. The milestone which was set for us as Africans has being rejected ad i can say that for a fact because i am a proud African.
In Africa and Ghana to be specific, education has become a political tool for politicians who are hungry for power. they make huge promises like making education free through to some level but they have failed on countless occassions to make this dream a reality. parents who spend millions and even almost all their life savings to support their children through the education system are not only the victims but also the students themselves. i have being part of this system to the tertiary level so i know what i am talking about when i say that education in Ghana although can be a bit enjoyable has become a headache for most parents due to huge amounts of moneys being charged on them.
There was once a PTA meeting in my school and my parents and other parents complained about the fees being charged on education and one of my headmasters told the parents who were complaining that if they think education is expensive, try ignorance. I dont know whether i should be scared or otherwise. i will leave that for you to judge
