  The Kumawood was a game changer for the Ghana movie industry:Previously, Nollywood movies were largely seen on our TV screens in most households. Arguably, it took the timely interventions of some production houses like Miracle Films and Venus Films (Ghallyhood) and legends like Alex Kofi Adu(Agya Koo), Felicity Ama Agyemang(Nana Ama McBrown) to bring Ghanaians attention to locally produced movies. The industry which employs hundreds of people in their production chain became very lucrative because of their consistency in producing and providing good quality content in the Ghanaian  movie space. It was no surprise that eventually, the industry became the most recognizable film industry in Ghana.  Although the story is not the same today as a result of modernisation, lack of finding and many other factors best known to the industry players,all hopes are not lost if they restrategize and bounce back.  Kumawood stars like Agya Koo, Nana Ama McBrown, Rose Mensah(Kyeiwaa), Mercy Asiedu, K

  Tertiary institutions like university and Polytechnic equip students with the needed knowledge and skills for living a good life. University education is structured in a way that graduates who pass through it whether locally or internationally are expected to demonstrate an acceptable behaviour and reasoning in society. On university campuses, we often see our colleague students pursuing different courses that sometimes we see as very cumbersome to study. Personally, I have heard a friend telling me that studying Economics in the university is very tough unlike the ones senior high school students study. Others also say Biochemistry is tougher than any course to study. I know you also have your own opinion on what course is the most difficult to learn probably based on your personal experience or a friend's.  We can all admit that some courses are indeed harder to study than others. Some of us showed much respect to students who were studying science in high school and those purs

  It is said that, "A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops." Unknown Teachers are the implementers of government's educational policies and as such, need to be equipped with all teaching and learning resources to enhance their lesson delivery. Unfortunately in Ghana, lack of teaching and learning materials have made learning difficult for students. Teachers hands are tied behind their back because they cannot function properly without the necessary tools to teach. Due to this, many have resorted to abstract teaching whiles few are able to go the extra mile of using their little income to buy teaching and learning materials. The Ghana teacher is capable of delivering a comprehensive and holistic lesson if equipped with the right tools to teach. One person who is fostering teacher competency in his constituency is Hon. Alexander  Afenyo-Markin,the member of parliament for  Effutu constituency in the Central region of Ghana. He has been consi
