High School Education in Ghana: Bridging Gaps and Building Futures
This subcategory of the blog delves into the state of high school education in Ghana, focusing on the opportunities and challenges students face at the Senior High School (SHS) level. It examines issues such as the impact of the Free SHS policy, overcrowded classrooms, inadequate facilities, and the disparity in educational resources between urban and rural schools. The subcategory also explores the high dropout rates, particularly due to financial constraints and socio-cultural barriers, and the role of vocational and technical education in providing alternative pathways for students. Through this lens, the blog seeks to highlight the need for reforms that ensure equitable access to quality high school education and better prepare students for the demands of higher education and the workforce.
