Why should Ghana worry about education?
Sub-Saharan Africa as a whole has the lowest school enrolment rates in the world and there are concerns that most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa may not meet the MDGs for education. Education in Ghana is still trying to pull out of two decades of decline. The government’s Free, Compulsory Universal Basic Education (FCUBE) programme has increased school enrolment over the years but Ghana is still nowhere near achieving globally accepted levels for Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER).
