Senior Presidential Advisor, Yaw Osafo-Maafo, has raised concerns about the quality of Ghana's educational system, questioning why the country still faces numerous issues despite having a high number of educated individuals.

He pointed out several problems, such as poor sanitation, recent severe flooding, and the frequent damage to school roofs during rains.

Speaking at the International Educators Summit 2024, themed “Reimagining Education for the Future We Seek: Africa and the World in Dialogue,“We have a change, but that change must be manifested into solving the problems facing this country, as we go along. So, we should begin to think through education as a problem-solver for the nation.

“This is my simple message to the minister of education [Dr Yaw Osei-Adutwm], and the whole educational system. We have a myriad of problems facing us in our education system.

“Our education system and the content should aim directly at resolving these problems, simple problems like sanitation, flooding,” he opined.
