So children of poor parents cannot receive their results why rich people like Mahama and his brothers have free education for their children at the expense of the poor? Only in Ghana do we have this nonsense. Where is freedom, justice and equality for all? Or is it the Orwellian Law of "All Ghanaians are equal but some are more equal than others?' Ghanaians must unite and call for justice and equality for all, Northners or Southners.

These results are exactly what the NDC propagandist want, a semi-literate gullible population that they can bamboozle with their unintelligent rants.
Just wait for it, they are about to blame these results on UNPATRIOTIC elements in the country, especially the opposition NPP.
The NDC is truly made up off a bunch clowns. in 2009 they argued that Ghanaian children needed less time schooling thus the reduction in years spent in Secondary School. The chickens are now coming home to roost.
With poor caliber of teachers, lack of teaching materials, school furnishing etc, the dumb NDC politicians insist on building more classroom blocks handing out PC to party operatives so they can chop, instead of focusing on improving the quality of teaching.
NDC YOUR PRIORITIES ARE ALL WRONG. FOCUS LESS ON WINNING ELECTIONS AND MORE ON GOOD GOVERNANCE AND SERVICE DELIVERY AND YOU WILL WIN ELECTIONS.

As a leader(father or mother or guardian) at home, what role model do you give or what do you tell your child when he/she goes to school with phone in fact, smart phone investing all his/her time and skills into using that phone. When you are told as a student, do not bring phones or prohibited material to campus, what do you do? When you are on mid-terms or vac, where do you go or what do you do when at home? do you listen to your leader and what he/she tells you? It is a fact that the leader at every level has something to do (responsibilities) but the subordinate likewise has an equally important responsibility.

It's about time we rethink our entire education system in our country and more importantly on our continent - AFRICA!!! Why do we continue with this brainwash education system which has kept us in the doldrums for years………. All we do is to teach our children in someone else’s ‘lingo’ and expect to be like them???
Unfortunately, our understanding of ‘Education’ is all about perfecting other peoples ‘powerful tools’ (language) based on collecting knowledge without the basic understanding of its origins and values. It is basically all about aping other humans’ lifestyle, totally contrary to our cultural heritage and good traditional beliefs.
Our so-called ‘Education’ system is deeply-rooted in the concept of reading books (in someone else’s languages and of their experiences totally alien to ours), memorizing them again, again and again, regurgitating them out of the ‘memory box’ (that is, if one has one) unto exam papers, get so-called good grades and eventually attain a degree/masters and forget everything after the process. Another sequence for this kind of education system is called – ‘chew’, ‘pour’, ‘pass’ and ‘forget’ – which gives no room for any form of analytical thinking that stimulates the COMMON SENSE (the gift from GOD), bestowed upon every human being.
I would honestly like to seek answers to the following: What were Africans educating themselves in, in the past before English or the French languages?
Which African language did all the scholars from all walks of life (from and beyond our continent), who achieved greatness from the first university in the world, located in Timbuktu – Mali were educated in?
Why was there an explosion of African Civilization which stretched from the North and South of the Great Nile River before the English language?
Why don’t we look to our past achievements to shape and secure our future as a continent, just as any other nations have done?
Why the choice of a language IMPOSED on us by the colonialists - who had enslaved us and suppressed the minds of our people?
Why the choice of a language, wholly alien to our African cultural heritage, good traditions and values?
Why not an AFRICAN LANGUAGE to educate ourselves to carve up a future and a proud identity for us and OUR unborn generations?
What have we Africans achieved……… since embarking on educating ourselves in suppressive languages that has bred inferiority complex towards the colonialists and other foreigners?
Others may argue that, we should not re-invent the wheel that has already been created for us……….and my question is, have we ever made good use of that created wheel? If not, then why????????????
Please, please, please let's challenge our minds and reach a better way forward because history, if it’s anything to go by tells us that we are barking the wrong tree…….in the hope of being like the people we can never be…….just by aping around like them and speaking their ‘lingo’? These same people we are trying to be like, became who they are by the use of THEIR OWN ‘lingos’, correcting THEIR OWN mistakes and experiences within the confines of THEIR OWN environments and the for the GOOD of THEIR OWN nations. DON’T WE GET IT????
GOD BLESS GHANA! AFRICAN FOREVER!

Nothing is working for these NDC CROOKS who just came in to destroy the nation. Every area of the nation is crumbling - from economy, to education to moral, everything. All what NDC knows is to steal and win elections but does not know how to govern. Instead of improving the education system as these results show, they are thinking of building 300 of such schools to make matters worse. I cannot wait to see the back of these crooks out of office in 2016 for a better government to take over.

Oh YES Mahama and the NDC did promise a better Ghana.
72% failure is under a better Ghana.
Somebody better wake Mahama up for he is in deep sleep.
I hate to see Mahama's bitter Ghana, the whole country might be on fire under his nose and he would not even know.
Well I do not blame him, Kufour built him a house called the presidency where he comfortable abode, he has no care of the rest of us. Our children are failing but his are doing well so why should he care?
Ghana must pray hard for it also appear God is at a distance and has left us. Why Mahama?
The economy is in crises.
The education system is being destroyed.

I am looking for something good to commend Mahama on and I am at a lost.
Well I just found some, Mahama is a good talker. He also knows how initiates committees.
I might even be a better president for Ghana than what Mahama is doing, he is bringing the presidency to disrepute.

This is a gov't that promised Ghanaians "quality education and access" in it's program to address the educational needs of the citizenry.
With a failure rate of a colossal figure of over 70% at the basic level, with absolutely no signs ever of any 50SHS's in 2013, with none ever in 2014, as well as tertiary and technical education completely collapsed ie POTAG/UATG, does this in any way, shape and form, depict and even show that quality and access in education has been addressed by this highly incompetent, corrupt and thieving NDC gov't?
In any serious democracy the players in that ministry would have been shown the exit for such abject and gross failure bothering on incredulity, but what we see in the country is such characters eg Ablakwa engaging in profuse and dimwitted dribble about some political party's internal matters.
Ghana is clearly under siege by a bunch of highly clueless and outrageously incompetent team of results-averse propagandists burying the country into the ground. And coupled with the thievery and looting of the Mahama NDC gov't akin to a religion, it is clear that Ghana is a goner under this administration.
Increasingly it is becoming clear that such mismanagement, incompetence and looting cannot address the issues and bring relief to the masses. Indeed, under the Mahama NDC gov't there is an exponential increase in the worsening of the problems, and it is imperative that, they are voted out for Ghana to progress. The verdict is that the educational sector has collapsed, another casualty of NDC gov't's incompetence, mismanagement, corruption and thievery.

What criteria do GES at national and regional levels use to post graduate teachers? 3rd class and 2nd class lower graduate teachers pay money at GES regional and national levels and get posted to senior high schools. The poor first class and 2nd class upper graduate teachers are posted to District Education offices to be posted to Basic schools. This is the order of the day in GES (Volta) these days. Tell me, with reference to the scope of basic school and senior high school syllabi, which of them needs more intellectual and subject vested graduate?. If you doubt, get to the ground and ascertain the open secret. As it is in the Holy Bible, "a bad seed produces a bad fruit". In other wards, GES is reaping from what they normally sow when it comes to posting of graduate teachers.

It's about time we rethink our entire education system in our country and more importantly on our continent - AFRICA!!! Why do we continue with this brainwash education system which has kept us in the doldrums for years………. All we do is to teach our children in someone else’s ‘lingo’ and expect to be like them???
Unfortunately, our understanding of ‘Education’ is all about perfecting other peoples ‘powerful tools’ (language) based on collecting knowledge without the basic understanding of its origins and values. It is basically all about aping other humans’ lifestyle, totally contrary to our cultural heritage and good traditional beliefs.
Our so-called ‘Education’ system is deeply-rooted in the concept of reading books (in someone else’s languages and of their experiences totally alien to ours), memorizing them again, again and again, regurgitating them out of the ‘memory box’ (that is, if one has one) unto exam papers, get so-called good grades and eventually attain a degree/masters and forget everything after the process. Another sequence for this kind of education system is called – ‘chew’, ‘pour’, ‘pass’ and ‘forget’ – which gives no room for any form of analytical thinking that stimulates the COMMON SENSE (the gift from GOD), bestowed upon every human being.
I would honestly like to seek answers to the following: What were Africans educating themselves in, in the past before English or the French languages?
Which African language did all the scholars from all walks of life (from and beyond our continent), who achieved greatness from the first university in the world, located in Timbuktu – Mali were educated in?
Why was there an explosion of African Civilization which stretched from the North and South of the Great Nile River before the English language?
Why don’t we look to our past achievements to shape and secure our future as a continent, just as any other nations have done?
Why the choice of a language IMPOSED on us by the colonialists - who had enslaved us and suppressed the minds of our people?
Why the choice of a language, wholly alien to our African cultural heritage, good traditions and values?
Why not an AFRICAN LANGUAGE to educate ourselves to carve up a future and a proud identity for us and OUR unborn generations?
What have we Africans achieved……… since embarking on educating ourselves in suppressive languages that has bred inferiority complex towards the colonialists and other foreigners?
Others may argue that, we should not re-invent the wheel that has already been created for us……….and my question is, have we ever made good use of that created wheel? If not, then why????????????
Please, please, please let's challenge our minds and reach a better way forward because history, if it’s anything to go by tells us that we are barking the wrong tree…….in the hope of being like the people we can never be…….just by aping around like them and speaking their ‘lingo’? These same people we are trying to be like, became who they are by the use of THEIR OWN ‘lingos’, correcting THEIR OWN mistakes and experiences within the confines of THEIR OWN environments and the for the GOOD of THEIR OWN nations. DON’T WE GET IT????
GOD BLESS GHANA! AFRICAN FOREVER!

There is a limit to what the teacher can do. The teacher cannot use his unpaid salary to buy teaching aids. The teacher cannot change the number of years from 4 to 3. The teacher cannot appoint competent people to run the GES/MOH. If you have a person of the calibre of Okudzeto Ablakwa (who should be in school himself) as a deputy minister, what else can you expect? Education is serious business and require serious minds. If the government considers sanitary pads as the priority, you where we are heading. I hope it was the girls who did not do well because of lack of sanitary pads.
