In a TikTok video shared by @highschoolafrica, a student said the main challenge with the Ghanaian education system is that it produces students who can answer questions rather than solve daily challenges.
“Just imagine an institution producing people to give answers or results without thinking, without analysing things. It’s very serious. It didn’t start yesterday, and It’s been long.”
