Synopsis

It is no gainsaying that Ghana has since independence made significant strides in its education system. However, any stake holder in Ghana?s educational agenda could ask, ?What are the emerging issues that consistently characterize Ghana?s education reform initiatives?? The answer to this question provides an insight into why there are dismal outcomes in the numerous educational reform efforts in Ghana to date. This current study of education reform initiatives in Ghana utilized a qualitative and interpretive case study format to present a critical analysis of issues emerging from Ghana?s educational reform documents from 1987 to 1997. In the study, it became clear that the educational reforms of Ghana, if not all, borrowed educational models, first from the British and later from the United States(U.S). What is indicative in the study is the absence of a marriage between educational goals and inter-connected variables in the Ghanaian society.
