I generally enjoy Science Fiction movies and though I'm not a fanatic, it was an honor to meet and interview NASA Astronaut Bobby Satcher last weekend!

Friends who are Star Trek die-hards or Star Wars fans, this one is for you!

Surgical Oncologist and Nasa Astronaut Robert "Bobby" Satcher (@astro_bones) was in Accra as a guest speaker at Ashesi University's Engineering Program Launch. Gratefully eTV with J.O.T. Agyeman and +Y1079FM with E. A. Gamor, we had the exclusive interview for the +Mpwr Show

Monday October 6th, 2014 was a public holiday in Ghana in honor of Eid Al-Adha. Thus, October's Accra Discourse was a Twitter Debate #AccraDiscourse with hub members: Deborah Ahenkora(@missahenkorah), Donald Ward(@donaldwardgh) & Regina Agyare(@ragyare) leading the discussion.

If you're visiting my blog for the first time, the Accra Discourse is a monthly conversation and networking event where passionate voices in Ghana connect with key drivers within sectors of leadership, business and development to have conversations that contribute to shaping the future of Ghana. The Accra Discourse, is an initiative of the Global Shapers Accra Hub, a community of the World Economic Forum. Posts and pictures from previous Accra Discourses here.

I am a proud product of Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School, one of the top secondary schools in West Africa. After that, there's very little else I'm proud of in the current Ghanaian education sector.

Let's take one metric, of course not the be all end all, but passing the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results are a requirement for admission into tertiary institutions/colleges/universities.

Of all the students who took the 2013 WASSCE exam: "...68, 062 students of the 242, 162 candidates had grades between A1-C6 in at least 6 subjects (including English & core Mathematics which are requirements for admission into tertiary institutions)."

 That's only 28.11% of students who sat for the exams passed. Not excelled people, (C's included) passed. That's a failing grade however you look at it.
