Graphic Online BY: Emmanuel Bonney 30.5k Shares 705 The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) says it fully supports the reopening of schools across the country since it is in the best interest of children who have sat at home for the past 10 months. It, therefore, charged members of the public to dismiss any information that sought to portray the contrary. “We support things that are in the national interest and when there are things we need to raise concerns about, we would do that. Since schools reopened, we have been going round and giving all the support we need to give and so it is not true that we are against the reopening of schools,” the General Secretary of GNAT, Mr Thomas Musah, told the Daily Graphic.

Africa stop ruining your future by exporting needed human capital!

Africa must stop aiding the developed world by exporting the human capital which is needed to drive the continent’s own social and economic transformation. Nigeria is a case in point. Its immigrants are the most educated group in the US labour force. Yet Nigeria ranks dismally at 152 out of 157 countries in the World Bank’s Human Capital Index (HCI). Launched in 2018, the index ranks countries’ gains in economic growth and human capital outcomes from investments in health and education. HCI is a composite measure based on survival rates, the quantity and quality of schooling and health status, all of which leads to a productive workforce. It conveys the productivity of the next generation of workers against a benchmark of complete education and full health.
