 <\/p>\n

All those who were able to pass through form four, senior secondary school (SSS) and sixth form demand big commendation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In those days, there were no electricity power in the secondary schools.<\/p>\n

Students were able to study mostly at day times.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In fact, only few parents were able to purchase lantern for their wards. In those days, kerosine was so expensive to afford to students.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In fact, this was the way most students studied to write their middle school leaving\u00a0 certificate, O level and sixth form examinations before university and other tertiary education.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the 70s and 80s there were only 3 universities in Ghana, Legon, KNUST and cape Cost University.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In those days, the middle school certificate was highly respected for employment. Most of them were classroom teachers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A level certificate was more valuable than our current first degree.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In fact, it was uncommon to come across a first degree holder in your region let alone in your town or family.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, we have more than 120 public and private tertiary institutions across the country.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Education ‘abafo’. Today, what matters about education is money. It’s not strange we have some university graduates who cannot write a simple composition. However we have some brilliant ones.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Say ayikoo to our old guys who used lanterns to study to reach where they are.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I salute you.<\/p>\n
