“I Never Used Computer In School Back Home,” – Says African Student Now Studying Abroad

Cursory: A Ghanaian girl who moved to the UK has contrasted her educational experiences there and back home. Although the little girl’s former school had a computer lab, she claimed she had never used it in Ghana; nevertheless, this is not the case in the UK. She added that whereas in the UK she had never been spanked or reprimanded by a teacher, in Ghana punishment is meted out for even the smallest transgression.

There are significant differences between the educational systems in Ghana and the UK, according to a Ghanaian student who moved there. In a TikTok video, the learner said that before departing for the UK, she attended Apeadu R/C in Ghana.

Her father, a member of the British army, asked the kid to compare her educational experiences in both nations in a brief interview that was released online.

The youngster, who has been in the UK for three months, claimed that there could be no comparison between schools in Ghana and the UK. She also remarked that the educational resources in the two nations are different.

“Ghana and the UK cannot be the same. In the UK, they use televisions and computers to teach. There is a class for every subject here, but we sit in one place in Ghana until break time. In the UK, we have the opportunity to stretch our legs,” she said.

Regarding chairs in classrooms and technology, she claimed that while she was in school in Ghana, she never visited the computer lab, but that she now had access to one.

“I never used a computer when I was in Ghana. We had a few computers in the school, but they never taught us with them. Our ICT teacher never took us to the lab. The schools also need furniture.

“Desks meant for one student has two or more learners sitting on it. As for the UK, there are many chairs, and you can sit where you want. You can also stand; the teacher will do nothing to you.”

She also compared the treatment of kids by teachers in Ghana and the UK. The girl claimed that contrary to Ghana, teachers in the UK do not spank or reprimand kids.

“No teacher has beaten me here before. They don’t even scold children. Students bring phones to class and are even on Snapchat when they are teaching,” she said.

She promised to supply whatever the education sector needs, including computers and chairs, whenever she is elected president of Ghana.
