Ghana is becoming a hub for education in West Africa/Africa. The govt/ authorities should LOWER the fees for international students, offer more PRACTICALS/hands on experience, introduce state of the art technology, introduce quality education etc etc. We should reduce the fees and make the learning environment conducive for everyone and see how our country/universities would be transformed for the better
It crazy 19 years and don’t even speak one Ghanaian language. Imagine a Ghanaian going to Lebanon and not learn Lebanese, he can’t even survive. They come here and exclude themselves from locals is what I’m getting. 🤦🏿♂️
And the way our twi is everywhere even in strictly formal settings and people are still able to"avoid" it is "impressive". When you go to Central University there's a large number of Nigerian students there who have no dealings with our twi/food etc. It's sad
Well if u speak for the English countries!! But for a lot of French African countries the cost is not too bad !! In most countries ecowas student pays the same price as locals .. And for an ivorian to go to france to study!! We paying $400 for the year. In a government run university .
In Ghana's case the fees are ridiculous. I know foreign students in Rwanda who pay less than 10, 000 cedis for the whole year, study under quality conditions and have access to transfer to Europe for further studies. Foreign students in Ghana are paying 20,000 cedis and over Aden?
English is a foreign language, so they must make twi a mandatory language to study for a year or two for foreign students. If you go to Germany 🇩🇪 or France 🇫🇷 or Russia 🇷🇺 you will learn their languages.
Twi is not the official language n it’s also not the language for instruction at school so why should it be compulsory for international student to learn it ? Their parent didn’t pay big fees for them to come learn Twi. It should be by choice on individual basis cuzz it’s helpful.
19 yrs in Ghana and no Twi is pathetic. Ghana should be proud for keeping culture, ie speaking our local language and same time speaking very very good English. I am amazed how Ghanians speak English so go. The best in Africa. Ghana should intensify teaching Twi. That when coming to Ghana get your basics in Twi.
There are a lot of Lebanese students in Ghana. I had 3 Lebanese students in my class during my undergraduate studies at the Ghana institute of management and Public administration
Dr Kumi Ansa koi was my dissertation/thesis supervisor in the university of Education winneba when I was pursuing my Masters degree. He was from UNIVERSITY OF GHANA. A Ghanaian wishing you all greetings from Guangzhou city China. Have a nice stay comrades
Wow. What you like about a whole University is WiFi. It's not academics we have a lot to do so that Students will be excited about what they are studying and not WiFi
I've read lots of reviews of international students about studying in Legon especially US/Europe transfer students and poor academics was cited as a con. These people are exposed to more in-depth knowledge/quality and Ghana should strive to offer them top notch world class current relevant Ivy league university-like knowledge, so their time/money here would be worth it. Ghana receives the second largest number of international US students apart from South Africa. We should do better. University of Ibadan has some futuristic technology in their medical school and beats us in West Africa in world university rankings. We've peace and stability and should leverage on that to offer top notch world class education
Ghananian universities don't need a recommendation from Nigerian students because they will come by themselves, In Nigeria their education system is very very bad.
@clement Asampana Because that lady who complained about speaking twi is from French speaking country she simply want here more English to Improve speaking her skills
@@AlkebulanJahmiah no its not like that. When you go to the French speaking countries the mostly speak French in schools, streets,markets etc but in Ghana its different.
@@ebenTF1 do you have a ghanian friend?if no,then i will recommend you to find one if you don't mind.it is like that in ghana.at school will be speaking english.but the local language in ghana is twi.because our mother tongue is twi so we speak local language outside school so i once recommend you to learn the language and that will make your stay in ghana much more comfortable.do your best dear wish you happy stay in ghana🇬🇭.
If you don't understand Twi just alert the person to change it. You are comfortable that always we should always speak English but you are not comfortable with Twi?
Your in ghana how can we speak twi too much .... it is our local language. What the body language of these students showed is that they dont think the education system is as good as its made out to be. They believe it needs alot of improvement.
And what's wrong with speaking twi?I bet you can speak very good English abi? about twi not crossing borders who told you?do your research well mass...you are one of those with locally acquired accent(LAFA) I bet
@@eddlove9938 mixing your lectures with even 3 twi word is a serious violation of teaching ethics. You can easily confuse a student who doesnt understand just those 3 words.

@@beatriceibomongat6482 concentrate more on education put all your effort in studying and achieve what you are there for.See the whole world is doing online studies and less at face to face lectures.so i think is up to you to be serious.Is school providing all the books you need or you are lacking for some books?
Please try not to respond to peoples answers with utter shock. How long have you been in Ghana? 4yrs . Your response: Really? Wow!. Your interviewees faces look like oops. They think in their head: “is it bad that I have been here that long?” Anyway to be straight forward that is how I felt. Please try not to show too much emotions as people respond. It’s more of a turn off when you do that so people don’t open up completely. I like your show. Good luck to you.
Nice remark. And she was asking leading questions sometimes, it "coaches" interviewees to give you answers they think you want to hear. Ask open ended questions, don't express too much emotions/facial expressions and watch people tell you their truths
This is terribly bad... Speaking Twi in an international university environment wherein most students are none Twi speakers. It's a sign of unseriousness.
Can you stop Kenyans and Tanzanians from speaking Swahili in their universities and in their offices. Even though English is their first official language.
@@jonesnyarko8447 You are misinformed and your view does not reflect the subject matter. Nobody is saying stop Ghanaians from speaking Twi in offices or in their local environment. Here, we are talking about an international school with a clear cut motive to cater to the needs of foreign students education wise. You don't come into the class and start speaking Twi to obviously none Twi speaking scholars. That is/was the bone of contention. I went to an international university and it's uncommon to have lecturers give lectures in local language which we obviously do not speak nor understand. UGIC must be consequential, either they remain international in all ramifications or keep to local orientation. How do you want scholars to learn when instructions are giving in language that scholars can't comprehend. Next time, please understand the subject matter before commenting. I was thinking of sending my son to Legon. However, the obvious problems and disadvantages mentioned by those scholars are enough to reconsider my application for him. Look, learning Twi or any other local languages for international students should be a matter of choice. It cannot be the language of instruction in lecture rooms
@@agoogo5026 You are entitled to your opinion. However, that is not the issue here.... and it is not a requirement for admission ab-initio. Medical students would likely go for practicals in the community, so learning basics of the local language of the community might be a requirement but it is different from/for such language being used as instrumentality of instruction.
