Abstract:
Quality in education is now crucial in Africa’s strategic plans towards catching up with the developed world. While the notion of quality and priority foci may differ from country to country, the term has become a determining factor in facilitating international support for educational expansion and developmental initiatives. Understanding the geographical context of quality in education, what its indicators are within the cultural milieu of particular countries, the challenges associated with implementing quality education are therefore significant. Increasingly successive governments in Ghana have sought and continue to seek strategies for quality delivery of education. Yet, in the country, locally research-based literature on issues related to quality in education is limited.
