@flashlight_official66: The Philip Quaque Boys School (originally founded as the Cape Coast Government Boys' School) is the very first formal basic/elementary school established in Ghana's history. [ History and Origins The Founder: The school was founded in 1765 by Rev. Philip Quaque, the first African to be ordained as an Anglican priest. The Location: It began inside the home of Philip Quaque in Cape Coast, evolving from the earlier "Castle School" system operated by European merchants and colonial administrators. The Motto: The school operates under the Fante motto "Nyansa ahyese ne Nyamesuro", which translates to "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom". Key Historic Milestones 1765: Formal elementary classes begin to train local children in reading, writing, and arithmetic. Post-WWII: The school relocated to its current permanent site in Cape Coast, which previously served as a British military barracks. Legacy: The institution earned Cape Coast its reputation as the "educational capital" of Ghana, paving the way for later missionary and public basic schools. #oldpics #ghana #ghanatiktok🇬🇭 #fyp #os
