I grew up on the cattle grazing fields of Asutsuare Junction in the Shai Osudoku District of the Greater Accra Region.
As the last born and only child in the family to be lucky enough to be enrolled in school, my options were limited.
Lawyer? Hell no!!! Not in this village.

Your Excellency,

I write with great respect and with a heart full of hope for our country.

A nation that celebrates the courtroom more than the construction site will struggle to see its roads built. Today our brightest young people are lining up for law school while our engineering labs sit half empty. We have become very good at arguing and debating, yet the potholes remain and the projects stall.

Many of our children still learn under trees and in classrooms that should have been replaced years ago. No motion or amendment has fixed that. What fixes it is concrete, steel, and people who know how to build.

We often say we want Ghana to rise like China. Respectfully, it is worth remembering who built China. For years the people leading that country were trained engineers. They measured progress in bridges, railways and power plants.

Mr. President, I humbly ask that you use your office to make engineering the profession our young people dream about. Scholarships, national recognition, and placing builders at the table where decisions are made would send a powerful message to every child in Ghana.

Let’s honor those who build and Ghana will rise again.

With deep respect,
Kwabena Kesse, CPA.

I hear you, and truthfully, many of the concerns you've raised have crossed my mind as well.

The safest choice is often to do nothing. The harder choice is to step forward when the outcome is uncertain.

It's easy to stand on the sidelines and point out what's broken. It's much harder to step into the arena, knowing that success isn't guaranteed and criticism is inevitable. But some things are bigger than comfort or reputation.

I believe we all have a responsibility to leave the game better than we found it. Not for ourselves, but for every boy and girl who dreams of what this game can make possible.

I'm a product of the game. I owe it more than my opinions. Whether the timing is right or not, only time will tell.

But sometimes the future we want only begins when enough people decide to step forward and help build it.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The problem with the high school system in Ghana is not just about education. It is a problem of national development.

Let me start by saying that one of the best resources we have in Ghana is the high school. It is not just the education. It is the bond it creates, a bond that quietly reduces our differences in ethnicity, social status, and background. That inter-regional migration at a young age, where a teenager from the north sits in the same classroom and dormitory as a teenager from the south, is of enormous benefit to nation building. Only a few multi-ethnic nations, the ones who need it most, have this kind of system at all.

The problem is that we have accepted, without really questioning it, that some schools are Category A and others are B, C, and D. This is ridiculous.

1. All public high schools must be standardized. Once a school is designated a public high school, it must have a standard number of classroom blocks, a proper dining hall with enough seating, a minimum teacher-to-student ratio, decent dormitories, and so on. There should be no such thing as a public school that is quietly known to be worse-equipped than another.

2. If point one cannot be done right now, then Category A schools cannot sit the same final exam as Category B schools, and so on down the line. The exams themselves must be categorized too. It is critical that we build a fair society, one where meritocracy actually means something, because right now we are comparing students who were never given equal conditions to begin with.

3. The Free SHS programme must be restructured. If boarding school is free, then day students must also receive some daily allowance for food and transport. All these students are Ghanaians or residents of Ghana. The benefits of Ghanaian education must not depend on where a child happens to live. That said, boarding itself cannot be free. It is a parent's responsibility to provide shelter and food for their child. What the nation can, and should, finance, where it can afford to, is the actual education, because of the long-term benefit that comes back to the country.

4. Whatever money is saved from restructuring point three must go directly into basic education. This is where the real problem sits. It is at the basic level, not the high school level. No child in Ghana should have to cross a river to get to school. No child should sit under a tree for a classroom. No child should go to school barefoot. No child should go to school hungry. The child belongs to the nation. This is why I said at the start that our education problem is really a national development problem. Point five explains this better.

5. Have you ever wondered why almost no one living on Ragoon Lane in Cantonments, or on Bortey Road in Airport Residential, sends their children to even the best public schools in Ghana, and instead chooses GIS, AIS, and schools like them? It is not the network. It is not the quality of teaching. It is not even classism, not really. All of those are just symptoms. The real reason is the development of the area itself. A child born and raised in a mansion in Cantonments will not simply thrive at St. Peter's in Nkwatia, even though St. Peter's is one of the best schools in the country. The problem is not the school. The problem is the town. Nkwatia does not have reliable water. It does not have good roads. In fact, that road is one of the worst I have ever used in my life. Development is what brings certain classes of people together in one place, and it is those classes of people, gathered in one place, who eventually become the network everyone talks about.

St. Thomas Aquinas for instance, is a day school, and one of the most respected in the country. The development around St. Thomas Aquinas has contributed directly to what it has achieved as a school. When the education office at the American embassy organizes an event, one of the first schools they approach is Aquinas. Why? Because Aquinas is nearby, in an area that already has the kind of institutions that notice a good school and support it.

So the real question for anyone planning this country's future is this: what kind of development attracts the institutions that then create opportunities for the schools/students around them?

Once we properly develop our towns and regions, boarding school becomes a luxury, something wealthier families choose and pay a premium for, not something the state has to prop up as a substitute for basic infrastructure. In developed countries, boarding schools work this way already. Public schools in those countries are not sorted by the quality of their facilities. A public school in one town looks much like a public school in the next

Ladies and gentlemen, we must stop glorifying this Category A, B, C nonsense. Accepting it is accepting failure. We need to go back to the drawing board and plan this country around ideas that are honest, relatable, and grounded in reality. We must think from first principles. What do we have right now, and what is actually possible?

...hardly put a track on repeat but "Bra" has been playing for the 3rd time. It is for anyone who has ever stared at the ceiling late at night, tired to their bones, just whispering a simple plea: God, please just pull up & see what I’m going through. If you're in the trenches right now, this track hits right at the core.

"you wake up at 5am, step out into the street, smile through the pressure & send the little you have back home.

Also, there’s this specific kind of heartbreak that comes from doing everything right (working honestly, praying daily, staying patient) & still watching basic survival feel like a war. And the hardest part of the grind isn’t even the physical labor; it’s pretending you’re fine because everyone around you depends on you being unbreakable."

this @kwekusmoke_ track is the collective cry of every young person carrying expectations that are twice their age.
It’s a plea for God to witness the parts of the hustle no one else notices.

North Tongu celebrates Jesse Kekeli Afudego who hails from Battor in my beloved constituency.

During my interaction with our freshly admitted 2,269 SHS students in North Tongu yesterday, I urged all our young learners to be inspired by Kekeli’s PRESEC NSMQ exploits, and emulate his extraordinary example.

Jesse Kekeli Afudego can count on our support and prayers as he pursues his plans to become an MIT trained engineer.

Let’s keep dreaming and believing.

Bought GH₵150 prepaid before travelling and left home for almost 3 weeks. Came back and the fridge was the only thing on.
I was genuinely scared I’d return to darkness.
Came back to GH₵115
So apparently my fridge is more financially responsible than me. 😂🤣
