Quality. Access. Relevance.
According to Winthrop et al (2018), there are two main global educational challenges, namely, skills inequality and skills uncertainty. Inequality is believed to exist in both wealthy and poor countries. In other words, schools across the globe serve some children better than others. For developing countries, the authors argue that it will take decades and centuries for children in poor countries to catch up with educational levels of children in wealthy countries. To close this gap, a developing country like Ghana needs to 'leapfrog' its education to enable its children to bridge this gap. Educators in developing countries must adopt a leapfrog mindset. Education, therefore, must seek to achieve quality, access and relevance, simultaneously. The current system where access is achieved first, then quality and relevance is outdated.
