Ghana’s Education Quality ranked 125 out of 183 countries in latest Global Youth Development Index

Ghana’s education has been ranked 125 out of 183 countries in the latest Global Youth Development Index released by the Commonwealth Secretariat.

It added that the West African Country together with the likes of Tonga, The Gambia, Fiji and Brunei Darussalam are among the countries that have moved the most places up the ranks relative to other Commonwealth countries since the 2020 report.

The document further explained this context by saying that countries may improve their overall score and performance but not increase their relative ranking on the index.

Speaking in an interview with Joy News Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Patricia Scotland, pointed out that the development index should not be seen as competition.

“This is not a competition between us…it is a competition between the threats that face us and what we have learnt in our Commonwealth if we coalesce around what works

Painting the global and regional picture, the Global Youth Development Index pointed out that more than two-thirds of countries worldwide showed an improvement in the education domain, led by Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Laos.

The 53 countries that have deteriorated in education since 2010 are spread around the world, with Liberia recording the largest deterioration, followed by Papua New Guinea, South Sudan, Ukraine and Qatar.
