Our 3 year SHS is not the best because students are not well prepared for university education. Just check the English language they speak and write
Also, our universities are overpopulated and not resourced to encourage learning. Some students have to stand outside at Legon during lectures. Our libraries have the same antiquated books and our lecturers use the information they have had since 25 years ago to teach.

##AUTHOR: OBI ------- It's sad that people are able to easily take/steal state properties. It's even more sad that it takes a few individuals to fight for the return of these properties. Any law enforcement agencies in Ghana??? People like ABRONYE DC should be recommended and treasured. God bless Ghana!

How can Ghana Universities get top 10 in Africa when they produce 3rd class degree graduates who later become presidents of their countries.

What has Kofi Annan done since becoming. Head of the UG - Ghana system. No one is talking about It. Need to talk about his tenure as head of the University of Ghana

Rankings are based on some criteria. I did masters here in South Africa and performed better than most from the highly ranked universities. I think Ghanaians can testify world wide. We have tertiary education problems but most SA universities have lecturers from Ghana and Nigeria. On President issue Zuma has no degree SA is enjoying benefits of apartheid majority of lecturers still white.

I don't agree and I will never agree. I live n work in South Africa.... Our Senior High Students in Ghana are far far better than the so call university students in SA. If in terms of infrastructures fine but not academic level. Why the xenophobia? Ghanaians, Nigerians and Zimbabweans are far better than them. Most hospitals and schools are by Ghanaian workers. It's a big lie...........

It is a reflection of what is going on in the country. The politicians and the body politic are corrupt, the universities do not carry out any meaningful research, professors just want titles and do not do research and publish articles even though they are always agitating for research allowances. University lectures spend more time in the fellows gardens drinking than on any academic materials. Theirs is to go and teach twice a week and the rest of the time they are lobbying for government jobs where they can make quick money. Most of them want to be rich without doing much. I applaud the few Ghanaian lecturers who are able to get real research grants from independent funding agencies. We should not be surprised if the Ghanaian Universities are not counted among the best in Africa. Why the craze for 4 X 4s, when you really don't need them on regular roads. We have all our priorities wrong. During my undergraduate days at Legon a handful of my lecturers engaged in research and one of such people inspired me to become a biomedical researcher in US. I still get NIH support for my research even though only about 20% of granted applications are funded. We need to do things differently. Craving for free stuff is killing us.
