@diplomatictimesghana: Ghanaian historian Prof. Anokye Frimpong has highlighted how Kwame Nkrumah’s expansion of free education, particularly in northern Ghana, helped accelerate access to education after independence and contributed to the development of the region’s human capital. He noted that the long-term impact of these educational interventions can be seen in the emergence of prominent leaders from northern Ghana, including a President and Vice-President of the Fourth Republic. Prof. Anokye also outlined other major economic and social transformations undertaken by Ghana’s first President after independence.
