Whether or not an international student returns to Ghana after study is a secondary matter compared to the question of their active contribution to the country's advancement with the knowledge acquired, Prof Elsie Effah Kaufmann has intimated.

She spoke to Class News' Prince Benjamin (PB) on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, on the sidelines of the Education USA Advisory Centre launch, Osu, Accra.

The engineer and academic recalled that when she left Ghana to study biomedical engineering abroad, she stayed in the US and the UK for 15 years before returning home.

She noted her education and experience in the West were "invaluable," shaping and enriching her worldview.
