Abstract: Abstract Low levels of education remain one of Ghana’s most fundamental challenges to increased human and economic welfare. While the extent of educational coverage among different groups in Ghanaian society at a given period of time depends on a number of variables, education development in Ghana overall seems to be strongly driven by various external factors (defined here as non-education specific factors at the personal, family, community, regional and national level). The basic argument, education development cannot be seen without viewing geography, macroeconomic trends, demographic patterns and the overall external environment, is explored here.
