2 June 1998 Dear Mr. Savage, Thank You for Your Letter of 24 April Offering Words of Congratulations Regarding My Mission To &# THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 2 June 1998 Dear Mr. Savage, Thank you for your letter of 24 April offering words of congratulations regarding my mission to Iraq. I took heart from the many supporters who were hoping for a diplomatic solution to the crisis, and I am gratified that we were able to avert the threat of war. The diplomatic success shows what a united and determined international community can achieve through the United Nations. Knowing I have the moral support of dedicated friends like you is a great source of encouragement. I would be grateful if you would convey my appreciation to all the members of the Mfantsipim Old Boys Association for the very kind words addressed to me in the message of 21 March. Yours sincerely, Kofi A. Annan Mr. Victor T.

Headquarters New York NY 10017 U.S.A Dear His Excellency and Distinguished Old Boy, The Executive Committee and members of the above association would like to take this opportunity to extend to you belated congratulations on your historic appointment, with the unanimous blessing of the Security Council, as the Seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations. It is our earnest belief that your appointment to the highest position in this august 185- member institution, of which our motherland, Ghana, has been a member for forty of its fifty two years of its existence, should be a source of bounteous joy, immense pride, great honour and inspirational leadership. It should be so not only to your alma mater (and especially your Class of '57) but also to the entire people of Ghana and Africa; as well as all people who have dedicated their lives and work to the worthy cause of world peace and security, which is the overriding objective of the United Nations. We are grateful and appreciative of the pivotal and indispensable role played by the present and past African diplomats and statesmen which culminated in your unique and historic appointment as the first Sub-Saharan African to the Secretary- Generalship. Whilst ever mindful of the burdensome duties and responsibilities of your high office, we particularly take pride in the commendable qualities which you have brought to your varied career with this 'International Civil Service'. These especially include exemplary and sacrificial leadership, selfless dedication to duty, capacity for hard work, integrity and empathy. No where had these admirable qualities been employed to greater measure and success than as the Under Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations and as the Special U. N. Representative in overseeing the smooth transition from the U. N. Protection Force (UNPROFOR) to the multinational Implementation Force (IFOR) in the former Yugoslavia, led by NATO under the 1995 Patrons: - The Ear! of Listowell, PC GCMG, Rev Dr. Leslie J Griffiths, MA, Rev Dr. John Tudor BA. Rev John R. Pritchard BA, Rev Dr. Peter C. Graves, MTh. Drayton Peace Agreement. And again as the U. N. Special envoy who skilfully negotiated the repatriation of 900 international staff and the release of the Western hostages in Iraq during the Kuwait Invasion in 1990. We further believe that this ground breaking appointment has more than fulfilled the prophetic words in the address to our alma mater's first Speech Day on 23 April 1908 given by the visionary, legendary Mensah Sarbah on behalf of the pragmatic headmaster, W. T. Balmer in which he said "I want to raise in Mfantsipim School a generation of men who will be brave enough to face the problems of their own continent practically and unselfishly." We pray to the Almighty and Merciful God, Lord of eternal love and compassion to draw near, strengthen and support you, your family and also bless you and your entire U. N. Team abundantly with wisdom, compassion and humanity. Finally, as you proceed with your peacekeeping and diplomatic duties let these memorable words of St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) spur you through the testing times ahead, "Notice everything, turn a blind eye to something, correct a little, cherish the brethren." Yours in the Service of Mfantsipim, V. T. SAVAGE General Secretary Patrons: - The Earl of Listowell. PC GCMG, Rev Dr. Leslie J Griffiths. MA. Rev Dr. John Tudor BA, Rev John R.

For those who knew he was sick, it was not too much of a surprise. However, for the majority of 'Old Boys' the news came as a big shock! In line with Ghanaian tradion, the current Ebusuapanyin, Capt. Paul Forjoe led a delegaon to visit the family to commiserate with them. MOBA was also well represented at the one-week celebraon at his residence at Abelenkpe, Accra. To crown it, MOBA organised a Special Remembrance Service in his honour at the Calvary Methodist Church in Adabraka, Accra. A host of 'Old Boys' thronged the grounds of the Christ Church Anglican Church at the University of Ghana, Legon on Saturday 24th April 2019 for the Burial Service and more importantly to pay their last respects to the man who had done so much for Mfantsipim and MOBA. The tribute of the MOBA Class of 1955, read by Dr. Andrew Arkutu, described him as a very humble and kindhearted person who stood firmly by his principles but always exhibited a composed demeanor. ...connued on page 8 The MOBA Newsletter is Registered with the National Media Commision - ISSN 2637 - 3599 Inside this Issue...

The research analyzed the experience of educational administrators, teachers, and students. Educational administrators included professionals at educational organizations and institutions, government officials, and professors at universities in Ghana. Teachers and students were primarily from five SHSs, across varying socioeconomic strata in the Ashanti Region, the Central Region, and the Greater Accra Region. The study employed ethnographic and multiple case study approaches. The research incorporated the data collection techniques of archival document review, focus group, interview, observation, and participant observation. Four interrelated theoretical perspectives informed the research: interdisciplinary African arts theory, leadership and organizational theory, post- colonial theory, and qualitative educational methods’ perspectives.

All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Exploration of Organizational Culture of Selected Ghanaian High Schools] by GRACE ANNOR has been approved for the Department of Educational Studies and The Patton College of Education by David Richard Moore Professor of Educational Studies Renée A. Middleton Dean, The Patton College of Education 3 Abstract ANNOR, GRACE, Ed.D., April 2016, Educational Administration Exploration of the Organizational Culture of Selected Ghanaian High Schools : Director of Dissertation: David Richard Moore The purpose of this study was to explore the organizational culture of two high schools in Ghana, examine the unique influence of cultural components on the schools’ outcomes, identify the exceptional contributions of the schools’ subcultures, investigate the emergent leadership styles of the schools’ leaders, and determine how these approaches promoted their work. This qualitative dissertation examined the various ways that the schools defined culture; how the schools’ subcultures participated in school governance; and how school leaders approached school governance. The description of the cultural components focused on the physical structures, symbols, behavior patterns, and verbal expressions, beliefs and values; and expectations. These descriptions were based on Edgar Schein’s diagnosis of the levels of culture. Efforts to improve school outcomes have not considered school culture, as a strategy in Ghana, neither has any educational research focused on the organizational culture of schools.

Reviewed by George M. Bob-Milliar Department of History and Political Studies Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology, PMB University Post Offi ce, Kumasi-Ghana Prominent Ghanaians do not usually write, let alone publish, their memoirs. Indeed, since leaving offi ce in 2001, after him serving 19 years as head of state, Ghanaians are still waiting to read the memoirs of former President J.J. Rawlings. The culture of documenting one’s experiences is not popular among literate Ghanaians. The trail blazed by some nationalist leaders including Kwame Nkrumah’s Ghana: The autobiography of Kwame Nkrumah (1957); Joe Appiah’s, Joe Appiah: The autobiography of an African patriot (1996); Mumuni Bawumia’s, A life in the political history of Ghana: Memoirs of Alhaji Mumuni Bawumia (2004), among others, was not sustained. 276Not many public and civil servants have written about their working experiences either. From this perspective, Zakariah Ali’s book is a welcome addition to the few personal memoirs of former public and civil servants. More importantly, Ali is among a handful of fi rst-generation educated northerners to have attempted to write their experiences that transcended Ghana’s geographical regions. Zakariah Ali’s book is a synthesis which attempts to recount important national moments through a personal lens. Retirement, in most cases, leads to boredom, and it was this problem that Ali used to his advantage.

By tracing how Soviet connections shaped Ghana’s post-colonial economic ideologies, its Pan-African program, and its modalities of citizenship, this dissertation contradicts literature that portrays African leaders as misguided political-economic theorists, ideologically inconsistent, or ignorant Marxist-Leninists. Rather, I argue that Nkrumah and Ghana’s postcolonial government actively formed new political economic ideologies by drawing from Lenin’s state-capitalist framework and the Soviet Economic Policy (NEP) to reconcile capitalist policies under a decolonial socialist umbrella. Moreover, I investigate how ordinary Africans—the working poor, party members, local and cabinet-level government officials, economic planners, and the informal sector—grappled with ii and reshaped the state’s role and duty to its citizens, conceptions of race, Ghana’s place within the Cold War, state-capitalism, and the functions of state-corporations.
