Scope for private investment in schools in Ghana

Most of the times i have been writing on the scope for private tertiary institutions in Ghana and other African countries, but recently during a discussion with few education stakeholders, they prompted me to do a preliminary report on scope for school education in Ghana. I grabbed this opportunity and analysed some of the published data on school education in Ghana to make my inferences.

Below is an abstract of female participation in some of the countries in East, West and South Africa. Participation and performance of female students has been compared with male and total at the senior secondary (A level) examination in Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Botswana and South Africa. Results for the 2016 examination in various countries has been considered for sample study. I thought it to be appropriate to release some of the analysis on International Women’s Day to highlight women’s participation and performance in senior secondary and university education. Share of female students attending senior secondary exams in Rwanda and Botswana has been higher than male in 2015 & 2016. Female participation in pre-tertiary qualifying exam ha...
