The next generation of leaders

There are many colleges in Ghana, which is one of Africa’s most advanced countries for academia.

It has been said that education is the gateway to a better future – a popular saying among many young Africans.

Something to work for

Audrey visits the SOS Hermann Gmeiner College, a place she dreams of attending some day.  It is one of the finest schools in Africa; students have to be in the top five per cent to come here.

Visiting the school and interviewing the other pupils, Audrey finds out their passions, inspirations and stories and learns how they arrived at the college.  This fuels her ambition further to one day be sat amongst these students.

Many of the pupils comment on the high quality of education in Ghana and talk about their hopes to better their lives.

Audrey is proud to live in Ghana, where education is so highly respected and valued.  It is a huge motivator for her to work and study hard.

Diversity

Africans from all over the continent travel to be educated in Ghana.  At the Hermann Gmeiner College there is a mix of different cultures, all learning together and discovering their peers' history and traditions.

Students are encouraged to believe that they are the future leaders of their country.

Understanding, acceptance and knowledge are the building blocks of a better future.  And students are encouraged to believe they will be leaders in the future.
