Okay everyone, I'm super
excited about this post. As a part of my development studies course I was
required to give a group oral presentation
last month and my group's topic was education
reform. First, we discussed
the history of education in Ghana and how the system has evolved since
independence. As some of my readers may know, the 2012 election in Ghana was
last week on Friday, December 7th. So, in my presentation we decided to discuss
the education policy initiatives of the two major parties here in Ghana, The
National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) so that
our fellow classmates would see where education in Ghana was headed.
I won't say which party I
thought had the best policies but the incumbent party, the NDC won the
election. It was really great to be here during an election season and
experience the political process.
I created a video to show
in the presentation that provides an inside look into the school I've been
working at this semester along with some commentary about the current status
about education from some of the faculty. I apologize for not posting more about
my teaching experience but I'm officially done and I'm definitely gonna miss my
kids.
I worked really hard on
this video and a friend suggested that I share it with the world. So here it
is.
Enjoy! :)
