According to Cheddar, Ghana’s educational system is almost certainly a hoax.

The head of The New Force political movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, sometimes referred to as Cheddar has recently voiced strong criticisms of Ghana’s current educational system.

He calls the system “not far from a scam” in his remarks, pointing out some flaws that he feels threaten the nation’s educational foundation and, consequently, its future.

The curriculum’s overemphasis on foreign topics and languages—especially English—at the expense of regional dialects and indigenous knowledge is one of the important problems Cheddar highlights.

He contends that this preference for the foreign over the indigenous undermines Ghana’s cultural legacy and alienates students from their own identity and future creative pursuits, especially in sectors like agriculture and gold processing that are essential to the country’s economy.

Cheddar’s criticism goes beyond this school system’s results. He notes that many graduates are unemployed despite their years of study—which can last up to 21 years for those pursuing higher education.

He contends that this circumstance highlights a structural flaw in the educational system—namely, that degrees are given precedence over real-world application and skill development.

He further points out that Ghanaian diplomas have little international acceptance, which limits graduates’ options overseas and essentially keeps them in a cycle of underemployment and unemployment.

For Cheddar, these remarks go beyond scholarly or rhetorical considerations. As he gets ready to take against notable individuals like Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the next elections in 2024, they are a part of his larger political and social agenda for Ghana.

Cheddar’s platform probably revolves around overhauling the educational system, which reflects a larger criticism of the existing administration and a vision for a Ghana that is more inwardly centered and self-sufficient.

The appropriateness and direction of the educational system are expected to become major concerns as the 2024 election approaches, with a December 7 election date.

Cheddar’s criticism aligns with prevailing apprehensions over the function of education in both personal and national development, implying that the discussion concerning Ghana’s educational prospects will be intense and significant.
