COME, I’LL SHOW YOU
KINGSFORD’S TORN BETWEEN SCHOOL AND SEA
Kingsford was in grade 6 when his school had to close because of Corona. Since then, he has gone fishing at sea with his friends, while his father is considering taking the 14-year-old out of school. He would prefer his son to follow in his footsteps and become a fisherman like him. But Kingsford still has big plans and is torn between school and the sea. Like many other children, he is faced with the question: How much longer will he not be able to go to school, or has the pandemic already heralded the end of his school days?

COME, I’LL SHOW YOU THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
GHANA
Ghana (officially the Republic of Ghana), with its approximately 29 million inhabitants, gained independence from Great Britain in 1957. Ghana borders Ivory Coast in the west, Togo in the east, and shares an inland border with Burkina Faso in the north. The capital city of Accra lies in the south along the Atlantic coast and is home to more than two million people. The official language is English, but another 70 languages are spoken throughout the country.
>/br>
Much has been done for education in Ghana, where basic schooling is compulsory. In 2019, the literacy rate was 79%, but poverty continues to impact education and health, especially in rural regions.
>/br>
Ghana has a diverse media landscape, and criticism of the government is possible. Ghana ranked 30th out of 180 countries on the 2020 World Press Freedom Index, published by Reporters without Borders.
