Political Science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Professor Ransford Gyampo, recently weighed in on these issues during a discussion on TV3's Key Points, shedding light on the systemic challenges hindering the effectiveness of public institutions.
He pointed out the stark contrast between the quality of government schools in South Africa and those in Ghana. "In South Africa, government schools are well-run and highly regarded.
Parents are eager to send their children to these schools," Gyampo observed. "However, here in Ghana, government-run institutions often fail to perform effectively unless they are privatized.
This reflects deeper challenges within the system." Gyampo attributed these problems to poor leadership and political interference, two factors he believes are often the main obstacles to reform.
