The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has called for a major shift in Ghana’s education system, urging that it be redesigned to preserve African identity while promoting innovation and leadership.
Speaking at the 95th anniversary of Accra Academy, he warned that the country risks losing its cultural identity if its education system continues to reflect colonial influences.
He noted that Ghana’s current education model was originally designed to serve colonial administrative needs rather than national development, and stressed the need to rethink its purpose.
“Our educational system must preserve our heritage if we are to make any meaningful impact on our condition,” he said.
He criticised the continued use of colonial names and practices, questioning why many Ghanaian towns and identities still reflect foreign influence decades after independence.
The Special Prosecutor also highlighted the dangers of identity loss, stating that societies that fail to preserve their heritage often struggle to achieve real progress.
He argued that education should go beyond passing exams and instead equip students with practical skills and values needed for real-life success.
The event formed part of activities marking Accra Academy’s 95th anniversary, where students were encouraged to uphold values of integrity, discipline, and leadership.
