In this paper, the author first cites passages that highlight the key developments and dilemmas of teacher education in Ghana in the 1960s, when the new nation resolved to prepare its largely untrained teaching force in "progressive" methods.

Pappas, Marjorie L. – School Library Media Activities Monthly, 2009
Over the last eight years, the primary focus in schools has been on passing standardized tests based on a core curriculum.

In fact,…
