flag Ghanaian leaders reject Western education models, urging local, culturally relevant systems.

flag At a October 22, 2025, event in Accra, Ghanaian education leaders including Professor Kwame Akyeampong and Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu challenged dominant Western views of Africa’s learning crisis, calling it a moral failure rooted in systemic inequities. flag They criticized overreliance on scripted lessons, foreign language instruction, and one-size-fits-all models, advocating instead for education systems that prioritize local languages, cultural relevance, teacher autonomy, and community-driven approaches like Ghana’s Complementary Basic Education program. flag The leaders emphasized that progress requires addressing infrastructure gaps, empowering teachers as professionals, and centering Afrocentric values such as Ubuntu to foster inclusive, context-sensitive learning.
