Shaping Basic Education System to Respond to the National Vision for Sustainable Development in Ghana

A major concern confronting the education system in Ghana is how to make education, especially at the basic education level, meaningful and useful to those basic school leavers who do not have the opportunity to benefit from further formal education. This concern is heightened by the desire to shape the national basic education and training systems to respond to the country's vision for sustainable development. To address the concern, a case study was conducted within three districts (in three schools) in the Greater Accra Region with the involvement of the Ministry of Education, the Ghana Education Service and the National development Planning Commission of Ghana. Various relevant documents including the national school curriculum frame, the national curricula for basic education and some development plans for the country were reviewed
