INTRODUCTION
This
piece will not follow the usual verbose nature of my pieces. My purpose is
straight forward for verbosity. In this piece, I intend to share some of my
submissions in an ongoing debate on Twitter on Ghana’s educational system.
I
have had my own reservations about Ghana’s system of education and I thought
that an opportunity to spew out some of my sentiments could not have been left
to chance. It was a territory that I wanted to navigate and meander and I wish
to thank the gallant young men who blazed the trail for the debate.
I
am ordinarily not in the habit of sharing postings across social media
platforms but the feedback, in terms of retweets, favorite and following, that
greeted by postings in the said debate imposes a moral obligation for me to
share with my blogger readers.
DATES WITH THE GENERAL
In
debates like this, barely will a Politian delve into, for the risk that they
run. But one General of Ghana’s politics will be intimated by the youth driven
conversation on the microblogging platform. Hon Asiedu Nketia was out to follow
the discussions as an active participant, a gesture that demonstrates his inalienable
love for education.
While
I commend him for his humility, I also want to take pride in the fact that some
of my submissions were worthy enough to get the general retweeting.
Enough
of all the grammar. Let me proceed by sharing some of my submissions in the
debate.

you. Your education doesn’t make everyone an indented slave.#GhEduDebate’’

fulcrum of our educational system.We have no business discovering others.#GhEduDebate

the system that has kept most of them out of jobs.#GhEduDebate.

recover your society and your world. That should be the purpose of our
education.#GhEduDebate

Conclusion

the conversations and debates that will be critical enough to engender a
paradigm shift in the prevailing academic system which continues to render most
of us, the youth,jobless

I love the part you menironed, our education empowers us to Reply and not to Apply. Until our politics gets to the part where partisans decides whether loosing the seat to the opponent or maintaining the seat, I will act only to the interest of the people and for the betterment of the coming generation, our educational system remains same.
