Abstract:In March 1966 the National Liberation Council appointed a 31-member Educational Review Committee whose terms of reference were: 'To conduct a comprehensive review of the educational system of Ghana, that is: elementary, secondary, teacher-training and higher education; to examine the problems arising from the work of national research; and to make recommendations and suggest reforms for improvement and for eliminating inefficiency and waste.' The Committee also spelled out a philosophy of education acceptable to Ghana. The author examines the Committee's report and indicates its relevance in the search for a solution to many of Ghana's current educational problems. Ref.
