A S A CITIZEN, WHAT SHOULD GHANA FOCUS ON TO ACHIEVE ITS DEVELPOMENT GOALS IN THE NEXT 60 YEARS? W hen I first read this question, I wonder ed where the other countries that gained independence a round the same times as Ghana stood now after 60 years. Are they still called developing countr ies ? Our elders say that water that stays too long in a pot stinks and that is why Ghana must focus on education to achieve development by 207 7 . Ghana pushed the Univer sal Primary Education goal in the MDG’s so much that FCUBE (Free Compulsory Universal Basic Edu cation) became a household name . Afterwards t he S D G’ s set o ut by the United Nations in 2015 also had Quality Education as one of the goals . These two global goals had education as one of the focus. A number of people would agree with me that our educational system ne ed s to be reviewed. The syllabus that has been in exis tence since the 90’s cannot propel us i nto development.
