Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur Yvonne Nelson has expressed worry about the state of Ghana’s educational system.
She was appalled that this was occurring in today’s era, emphasising the need for progress in the education sector.
“We need to do better. I have a video on my phone. I was on my way to Kumasi once time after I launched my book and I saw kids who were walking to school and they had cutlasses in their hands and I stopped them and asked why and they said they weed before they go to the class.
How are they going to weed before they go to class? They are going to sweat, mentally you are not prepared. How do you allow this in a school? How do parents think it’s ok to give a cutlass to school? What if somebody get’s angry, grabs a cutlass hurts their friend. Really, 2024? Is this happening in our educational system? Does the ministry of education know that this thing is happening so we have to do better,” she said.
Yvonne Nelson who has ventured into educational entrepreneurship now has the Just Like Mama day care center and a recent addition, the Yvonne Nelson International School which is for pupils at the primary stage.
The celebrated actress, also known for her book ‘I am Not Yvonne Nelson,’ revealed that despite the challenges of balancing school management, acting, and producing, her experience in production has equipped her for this demanding phase of her career
