It depends on what deem as best if comparing it to Ghanaian school. On the flip side if planning on bringing the child(ten) back abroad you you will want then to come back and settle in without struggling. I way teaching is done in Ghana is completely different. Learning is simplified with the children getting a better grasp not the subject. During the lockdown web I had an opportunities to sit and lesson to my kids lessons both primary and secondary I marvel at how teaching of otherwise abstract subject to me way back were explained and related to every day Life.

It's not easy giving kids the best of education, we are in Australia and chose private girls schools for our girls, year 1 to 3 is costing us $16,520 Australian dollars per annual, with a non refundable endowment fee of 25% of a year tuition to be paid only once. This definitely breaks the bank, but when you see the kids being able to reach their best because of the available resources and great teachers I think it is worth it if one can afford it. Free education is not always the best so is expensive ones. But if one can afford the high end education for their kids why not, it is not only the education but the environment and the small numbers of student in a class. Anna and Kevin you have made best decision, although hard, you will see the result in years to come... All the best to your beautiful children in their new school. xo

@@ableman2108 have you seen a child die from beating? I went to a military school. Beating a child has no impact on that child except trauma. No one learns that way. That is abuse. It reflects poorly on the mentality of the person with the cane. It shows that there is very little respect for them. When I speak to a child, they listen. Because they respect me. There is a clear difference btw respect and fear. A lot of African teachers are feared not respected. Respect extends beyond the classroom, fear lasts the duration of a class period. And yes, I have seen an African child insult and put their hands on their mother. A military school will teach you a lot of things. I have seen the worst people you can ever come in contact with. There is no amount of beating you can give to someone to change them. I have seen several soldiers beat one student until they got tired. He ended up expelled.

Ik ben zelf docent in het onderwijs in Nederland. Jullie verhaal doet mij denken aan sommige studenten die ik hier in Nederland les geef, alleen dan de omgekeerde wereld; Anderstalige studenten die moeten ‘integreren’ in het westerse school systeem. De omschakeling van orders opvolgen, stil zitten en luisteren ...naar-> ..in de klas je mening geven, voor jezelf opkomen en vooral veel communiceren. Dat je ergens wat van mag vinden in de klas kan voor iemand die dit nooit is aangeleerd, erg moeilijk zijn. Dit wordt soms onderschat bij docenten, het is niet altijd meer vrijheid dus maak er maar gebruik van! Sommige studenten vinden dit heel moeilijk, wat begrijpelijk is als je dit niet gewend bent. Ik vind deze video daarom ook erg educatief wat betreft ; professionalisering van diverse achtergronden. Ik weet nu door jullie hoe het schoolsysteem in Ghana eruit ziet. Ik hoop dat andere docenten in NL zich ook meer bewust zullen worden van deze verschillen en daardoor studenten hier nog wat beter kunnen begrijpen :).

I was in private primary school in Takoradi in the western region of Ghana in the mid seventies, and even then, I had 4 white 2 mixed and a few Lebanese children in my class alone and all had to abide by school rules including caning. I understand private education in Ghana is expensive, but there are different levels to that.

I think threats to children in school helps them shape up... bringing western idealogies on child assault and discipline won’t work perfectly in African schooling system. Most big rich Ghanaians u see in leadership position went to public schools and most special schools don’t Dutch out good quality children ready to face the future. I want to believe in African, rising a child takes a community not the parent alone. Community training can involve teachers discipline, home work and also hard work and ready to face the challenges of life. Ghana teachers are sound in teaching. I remember my elder brother having a Ghanaian teacher back in the 80s and he came out brilliant wining scholarships here and here. Believe me, if you want your kids to adopt to real African culture allow them to face the hurdles in the schooling system to be ready to face the odds of the future. Shalom.

For the Ghanaians on this platform who were born, bread and educated in Ghana and now fortunate enough to be living and working abroad, please ask yourself what sort of education and upbringing you had and how has that shaped your life? What I have personally learnt is that, in Ghana, though the form of education might differ, the outcome in terms of knowledge acquisition is the same irrespective of which school you attended. However those who attended International schools are well connected so its easy to find them in big multi national corporations and occupy top positions. Those who attended SITO or government schools are not necessarily less knowledgeable. Some just find it harder to climb the social ladder. But these are the very ones who own small to medium scale businesses and form majority of the middle and working class of Ghana. The international schools in Ghana - for whatever they are worth - are way over priced. You did not mention the class size but anything above 15 for $8k a year is so unreasonable. I would rather take my child to a fairly reasonable school and invest in a personal tutor if the class size is above 25 as well as some fun extra curricular activity which is of interest to the child. I will personally not pay an arm and a leg for primary education because the family need to live as well as save for life's eventualities.

I will say that if your child even goes through the middle level of education in Ghana, that child coming back to the west will excel no matter what. One of my children went back to Ghana from the US, he couldn't cope because the system there is more rigorous and I have to say I prefer the Ghanaian way due to the discipline it instills.

@@kingtroygh2788 Nobody is in competition with asia or china. Asia is no future to africa. Africa is the future to africans. Stop comparing ghana to china or asia. . Ghanaian school systems shd be geared towards educating ghanaian youth for the benefit of ghana our beloved country not some western world where we r not even appreciated . Educate our children to stay , and build ghana not in the notion that the west is always better and half our youth end up in the west thinking that is the way to go. Why do some of us still have such a colonized mindset. This is 2021 . Stay woke .Stop comparing asian kids and what they r learning to ghanain kids. These r two differen worlds which is both gearing for the betterment of their country. That is why africa is always at a loss because we look to others thinking that they know better than us.AFRICA IS THE FUTURE AND THAT IS A FACT.

Another great video Kevin and Anna, but one thing I’ve often wondered about in the Ghanaian school system is why they cut the girls hair? I would love to see you do a blog about this subject because I’m sure there’s a reason and I’m guessing it differs from school to school. I’ve even heard that they cut the girls hair in the international schools. Obviously that cannot be true as Sophie has beautiful hair and i’m sure you would not agree to cut that gorgeous hair off to let her go to school. I think Kevin said it right when he explained that a lot of Ghanaian schools the children are taught to blindly follow! But in the west it is a more holistic approach to schooling.

Local Ghanaians school are okay, as long as you don’t get whipped with sticks as a punishment, as they use to do before. I can tell you that , it doesn’t matter whatever which school the child will attend in Ghana, it all depends on the child how serious the child want to study. People who attend local school and people who attend international school they all sometimes end up in the same universities in Ghana. If you really really want your children to learn the Ghanaian culture then the local school is the best. Do not spend that kind of money if you can’t afford my dear.

I understand what you are saying but you comparing the state run system of the Netherlands with top International schools in Ghana. We live in the UK and our children have been privately educated at Primary & Secondary level. We did this because as black people we wanted them to have the best rounded education. In comparison with the prices of top International schools in Ghana, it’s more expensive in the UK. On average fees for private primary school per year in the UK is £12,000 ($17000) and Secondary £24,000 ($35000) a yr, and it rises up every year (this does not include other activities). So my point is, in comparison the private education in Ghana it’s reasonable.

Canning is common in most African countries, especially from parents,teachers & higher authorities. I was born & bred in Nigeria b4 moving abroad in my early 30s. Due to some folks trying to adopt western way of life , the millennial generation, found that abusive but older generations, are cool with it those training bcos that was what made & shaped our characters & values . New generation are not having non of it .

Het Nederlandse onderwijs glijdt af: al 20 jaar daalt niveau, zegt inspectie 11-04-2018, 10:00 Het onderwijs op de basisschool en in het voortgezet onderwijs gaat steeds verder achteruit, constateert de inspectie in het rapport Staat van het Onderwijs 2016/2017. Volgens de onderwijsinspectie glijdt het onderwijsniveau af en zijn de prestaties van leerlingen de afgelopen 20 jaar geleidelijk gedaald: "Dat is uniek en reden tot zorg." Daarnaast dreigt het gevaar van ongelijke kansen doordat de kwaliteitsverschillen tussen scholen steeds meer toenemen. De etnische segregatie neemt af, maar de tweedeling op basis van opleiding en inkomen van de ouders neemt toe. De inspectie is verder kritisch over de manier waarop het onderwijs zelf en de overheden proberen het tij te keren; scholen benutten niet genoeg de eigen mogelijkheden om de kwaliteit te verbeteren en de overheid stuurt niet voldoende. Buitenland doet het steeds beter De prestaties van de leerlingen in Nederland zijn vergeleken met hun leeftijdgenoten in het buitenland. Zij doen het juist steeds beter. De stagnatie en daling zitten bij basisschoolleerlingen in taal, rekenen, cultuureducatie, natuur en techniek, burgerschaps- en bewegingsonderwijs. De inspectie ziet de laatste twee jaar ook steeds meer leerlingen van de basisschool komen die niet goed kunnen lezen. Daarnaast ontwikkelt toptalent zich minder. Het beroepsonderwijs daarentegen is een lichtpuntje. Het niveau van de vmbo-leerlingen en mbo studenten stijgt nog steeds. Zij halen vaker een diploma op het hoogste niveau. Vmbo-leerlingen van Scholengemeenschap De Rooi Pannen in Eindhoven - ANP De inspectie maakt zich verder grote zorgen over de tweedeling in het onderwijs. De kansen voor leerlingen zijn sterk afhankelijk geworden van het opleidingsniveau en het inkomensniveau van de ouders en de kwaliteit van de school. De onderwijsinspectie ziet daarnaast dat de tweedeling grote gevolgen heeft voor de kansen van minder bevoorrechte leerlingen, doordat scholen in armere buurten meer last hebben van een tekort aan leraren. 'Bubbels van gelijkgestemden' Vooral academisch opgeleide ouders scheiden zich af. Dit komt voor een deel door de wijk waarin ze wonen en hun kinderen naar school sturen. Ze kiezen ook vaker voor scholen met duidelijke onderwijsconcepten, scholen waar leerlingen met een vergelijkbare achtergrond zitten of voor privaat onderwijs. In vergelijking met andere landen is het Nederlandse onderwijs sterk gesegregeerd, concludeert de inspectie. Ook zijn er ouders die kiezen voor kleine religieuze scholen, waardoor etnische segregatie ontstaat, schrijft de inspectie. Die signaleert dat er in Nederland "bubbels van gelijkgestemden" ontstaan, waar leerlingen nauwelijks uitkomen. Die eilandvorming zou vooral negatieve gevolgen hebben voor de onderwijskansen van kinderen met laagopgeleide ouders. Sturing door de overheid De inspectie roept de overheid op zich weer meer met het onderwijs te bemoeien. Gemeenten en de landelijke overheid moeten duidelijk maken wat hun verwachtingen zijn van de scholen, omdat de maatschappelijke opdracht onder druk staat. De toezichthouder vindt de betrokkenheid van de overheden nu te vrijblijvend. Alle leerlingen en studenten moeten de beste basis voor hun toekomst krijgen, is de inzet van de onderwijsinspectie. De toezichthouder roept daarom alle betrokkenen op meer en beter samen te werken om het tij te keren. 'Kwaliteitsverschillen reden tot zorg' Minister Slob (Basis- en Voortgezet Onderwijs) en minister Van Engelshoven (Onderwijs) vinden de grote kwaliteitsverschillen tussen vergelijkbare scholen reden tot zorg. Slob wil zo snel mogelijk met de PO- en VO-Raad bespreken hoe scholen beter kunnen presteren. Hij ziet als voornaamste probleem dat voor veel scholen de basiskwaliteit het einddoel is geworden: "Daar willen we ons niet bij neerleggen." De bewindslieden verwachten ook meer ambitie bij de scholen. Scholen mogen niet tevreden zijn dat bijna alle leerlingen het basisniveau halen. De prestaties moeten daarom omhoog. Niet door vanuit het Rijk scholen te overladen met actieplannen en maatregelen, maar door veranderingen van binnenuit, schrijven de ministers. De verbetering moet komen vanuit de teams, schoolleiders en besturen. "Wij verwachten van iederéén in het onderwijs de intrinsieke motivatie om ambitieus onderwijs te bieden."

First of all, you too are very bold and I admire how you're patiently and thoroughly explaining these experiences and being objective about it. For a Ghanaian who grew up and schooled in Ghana who's now married to a Dutch woman, the cost of GOOD EDUCATION in Ghana will break you. If I have Children, I think I'd rather give them the advantage of the Dutch school system. "GOOD EDUCATION" in Ghana is EXPENSIVE!
