Changing the Narrative

For so long, education in Ghana has been based on theories. Students study, chew or memorise , pour out during exams and they forget. The theories are not put into practice thus students tend to know less about it making them inefficient on the job.

But the idea of learning and forgetting is gradually changing. The Ghana Institute of Journalism this year introduced the maiden edition of the political campaign competition event. To enable students portray what they have learnt in political education to enrich their understanding.

• 

This event was organised by lecturers of political communication to assess how well students bridge the gap between theories and praticals. The lecturers are Dr. Lawrencia Agyapong (Head of department), Dr. Etse Sikanku, Dr. Kobby Mensah and Dr. Susan.

Students of political communication involved in the competition came up with stimulated political parties and numerous campaign messages and policies to win the ultimate prize.

The main event was graced with men well abreased with politics issues judging the works done by students. This gave students more understanding into the course studied. Also most students portrayed their grassroot works.

In all what the political campaign competition did was to widen the knowledge of stuents on what was taught in class to enable them do well on the job market and also better their lives.

Theories can't be all, the need to practice is key to efficiency in our various work places.

Its time we all come together to change the narrative. Let us make our young ones more efficient and better students with the needed skills for service.
