This is nothing new, my dear. Our whole society is based on the shaky foundation of chew, pour, pass and forget or never apply. No originality or creativity, but plenty of plagiarism and repeat-after me.

It means WAEC must change the way it sets its question to incorporate the learning outcomes suggested by Kauffman. That would take the rote learning away

If passing an exam is the only thing that motivates them, then high school teachers should use it to manipulate proper learning.
I don't know about the WASSCE but for the high school's own exams, a lot can be done to make the students have no choice but put on their thinking and creative caps.
Let the exams be all about applying what one has learnt to real life situations.
For example, after learning about osmosis and the osmotic theory, every student would have to describe in the exam how they would use osmosis to produce clean water for villagers.
But of course, the science curriculum should also be made interesting and designed to captivate the imagination of the students. One simple approach is making student watch good science documentaries. And even at the high school level, scientists should be invited to give stimulating lectures.
Motivation is everything, and if students know they have to discover, invent, or design something before they get an 'A', trust me, you'll see a lot of Steve Jobs springing up from nowhere! That is just human nature.

From by observation in the U.K secondary pupils have a chance to work in a carpentering workshop which they call Technology . Pupil do make something to bring to their parents. They also have an opportunity for realmlif work experience when they 14yrs. All secondary pupils have an opportunity to work in an environment of their choice arranged by the schools with local businesses and farming community. So they are given two weeks time out to work in that environment as a taster. In Ghana on the contrary pupils are not given this taster opportunity. Education is taken rather seriously by rota learning only for the WASSCE with no consideration for the need for an assessment criteria for those unable to take exams therefore would benefit from a continuous assessment. There is also no conflict resolution training for teachers and no child protection policy from Education to protect our children.

What has cut off point got to do with the issue under discussion. You have to be a University teacher before you can appreciate the point the quiz mistress was making.Can't you state your disagreement without insulting?

Too much theoretical teaching in both SHS and the universities. Subvention given to the schools and the universities are also inadequate. Nothing works in Ghana. It's only talk, talk and talk. Nobody is working in Ghana. Ghanaians even don't appreciate the teaching of science in the universities. Science lecturers are frustrated in the country.

YOU ARE HUNDRED PERCENT RIGHT IN YOUR COMPRENSIVE ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY EDUCATION IN GHANA,
IS IT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFICIT THAT, THE SO CALLED EDUCATED WITH BIG DEGREES AND PHD TITLES OBTAINED AT HOME AND ABROAD ARE STILL NOT CAPABLE TO USE SCIENCE,TECHNOLOGY,SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY TO CREATE MIDDLE LEVEL DYNAMIC INDUSTRIES, MANUFACTURING FIRMS AND PROCESSING PLANTS TO PROPEL ECONOMIC GROWTH AND TO STIMULATE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, INCOME,CONSUMER SPENDING AND BETTER STANDARDS OF LIVING IN GHANA.
DO WE HAVE TO TAKE YOUR ARGUMENT AND COMPARE IT TO THE MANY DEGREE AND PHD HOLDERS WHO HAVE STILL NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THEIR ACQUIRED ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS FOR SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN GHANA.
DOESN'T IT SOUND VERY SHAMEFUL AND DISGRACEFUL TO HAVE THESE EDUCATED FOLKS WHO ONLY COME TO SEEK APPOINTMENTS AT THE UNIVERSITIES, PUBLIC SECTOR,AGENCIES CORPORATIONS AND BE A FAKE POLITICIAN AND ONLY TO DEPEND ON THE POOR STATE FOR THEIR EASY SLARIES WITHOUT PRACTICAL INPUT.
PLEASE, MAY I KNOW FROM YOU, WHAT HAVE BEEN THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE SO CALLED EDUCATED WITH DEGREES AND PHD TILTLES TOWARDS THE ECONOMOC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN GHANA.
I KNOW YOU ARE AWARE GHANA HAS STILL COCOA BEANS AND RAW MATERIALS EXPORT ECONOMY.
DOES IT MEAN IF, GHANA WOULD'T HAVE HAD THE HARDWORKING ILLITERATE COCOA FARMERS AND MINE LABOURERS, ON THEIR TOIL AND SWEAT GHANA EARNS ITS FOREIGN EXCHANGE TO SERVICE NATIONAL BUDGETS AND DEBTS,WAGES AND SALARIES,IMPORTATION OF COMMODITIES AND FOOD PRODUCTS AND ABOVE ALL THE USE OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO IMPORT EXPENSIVE CARS AND JEEPS FOR USE BY NON PRODUCTIVE EDUCATED AND FAKE POLITICIANS FOR HIGHLIFE, MERRYMAKING AND HONEYMOON, WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FATE OF THE NATION GHANA IN THE WORLD AND TO MEET ITS DOMESTIC ECONOMIC OBLIGATIONS.
I WISH YOU WELL IN YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVOURS.

poor educational policy and discrimination in course delivery.The well to do in most parts of the world are not doctors.They are innovators.people who creatively used their brains to produce something that have demand. Oprah Winfrey studied literature and drama in college. Warren Buffet studied literature and philosophy in college.They are both billionnaires.Until this country is led by real and pragmatic leaders, Ghana is not going anywhere.
