French is not the official language in Ghana. It is a borrowed language often studied in most schools to enable students. Although Ghana's official language is English, the teaching of French is only compulsory up to the secondary school level.

The idea behind this is to offer students and Ghanaian citizens a chance to communicate with people from neighbouring countries like Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Togo.
