However, educational facili- ties at the time could not match the youth’s enthusiasm for school. If elementary school education were grossly inadequate, those for secondary education were virtually non-existent, and nearly all ambitious young men who wanted higher education went to overseas or Sierra Leone. It was to satisfy the urgent need for a secondary school that would provide good tuition at reasonable cost to the non-affluent sector of Accra and its environs that four young men all below thirty years of age established the Accra Academy. The Accra Academy was founded on Monday, 20th.

    Volume 4, Issue 2 Spring 2015 GESTAR Newsletter http://gestar.usra.edu/ Ghana, Germany, U.K., Canada & U.S.: Richard Damoah’s Road Map Last fall, atmospheric scientist Dr. Richard Damoah (GESTAR/MSU, Code 614) began teaching a meteorology course at Morgan State University (MSU), and as an integral part of his instruction, he worked toward incorporating a weather station on campus, which WeatherBug installed in September 2014, thanks to funding from the MSU Department of Physics. Most recently, Dr. Damoah has been upgrading the weather station to include a camera and lightning sensor; funds for this were provided by MSU’s A Student-Centered, Entrepreneurship Development (ASCEND) program. Preliminary analyses of the station data by his students were presented at the following events: (1) MSU-Maryland Science Olympiad, March 7th; (2) MSU Innovation Day at the Maryland State Legislature, Annapolis, MD, March Image Provided by 19th; (3) MSU 22nd Annual Undergraduate & Graduate Research Symposium, April 14th; R. Damoah and (4) GESTAR’s All-Hands Meeting Poster Session, August 5th. It’s not only Dr. Damoah’s students who benefi t from the weather station: the Morgan faculty also is able to create projects based on weather data, and it provides the community a resource for weather-related events. Dr. Damoah was recently recognized “for his initiative to install a meteorological/climate observatory at MSU … and to contribute to the development and advancement of STEM education at MSU” (see Awards Section, page 5).

  • Brain Drain” of the Best and Brightest: Microeconomic Evidence from Five Countries
    Discussion Paper Series CDP No 18/10 The Economic Consequences of “Brain Drain” of the Best and Brightest: Microeconomic Evidence from Five Countries John Gibson and David McKenzie Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration Department of Economics, University College London Drayton House, 30 Gordon Street, London WC1H 0AX CReAM Discussion Paper No 18/10 The Economic Consequences of “Brain Drain” of the Best and Brightest: Microeconomic Evidence from Five Countries John Gibson* and David McKenzie† * University of Waikato † World Bank Non-Technical Abstract Brain drain has long been a common concern for migrant-sending countries, particularly for small countries where high-skilled emigration rates are highest. However, while economic theory suggests a number of possible benefits, in addition to costs, from skilled emigration, the evidence base on many of these is very limited. Moreover, the lessons from case studies of benefits to China and India from skilled emigration may not be relevant to much smaller countries. This paper presents the results of innovative surveys which tracked academic high-achievers from five countries to wherever they moved in the world in order to directly measure at the micro level the channels through which high-skilled emigration affects the sending country. The results show that there are very high levels of emigration and of return migration among the very highly skilled; the income gains to the best and brightest from migrating are very large, and an order of magnitude or more greater than any other effect; there are large benefits from migration in terms of postgraduate education; most high-skilled migrants from poorer countries send remittances; but that involvement in trade and foreign direct investment is a rare occurrence.

    The History of the Accra Academy Old Boys’ Association Written by: Simon Ontoyin (Bleoo 2006) The 20th Century 1940s & 1950s The Accra Academy Old Boys Association was in existence as of 1947 and represented on the School’s Board of Management by Mr. Ajebu Osah Mills. At the time reunions for old boys were organised at Ellen House in James Town. Mr. A. O. Mills represented the alumni association on the School Board for nine years. Mr. Allotei Kobina Konuah and Mr. H. A. A. Ankrah were among some of the pioneer students that were members of the association. They both served on the staff of the school. Mr. A. K. Konuah was appointed Headmaster of the Accra Academy at the end of 1952. As of the 1950s, the first known Secretary of the association was Mr. John Class-Peter, then Senior Executive Officer of the Ministry of Local Government Training School. Other active alumni were Mr Harry Dodoo, Dr Ebenezer Ako-Adjei and Mr Samuel Azu Crabbe. 1960s to 2000 By the 1960s, the association was hosting an annual reunion for its members at the Cocoa Marketing Board in Accra. In 1967, Mr. Jacob Korley Okine, an alumnus and a former Mathematics teacher at the school, was appointed Headmaster. By the 1970s, Messrs Emmanuel Jellicoe Quaye and Michael Bampoe-Addo were among the active members of the association. The latter was the president of the Association. It could be said that Mr Jellicoe Quaye was the first President of the association. In 1976, members of the 1951 year group organised a "grand and well-attended dinner" at the School’s assembly hall to mark their Silver Jubilee of graduating from the school.

    The Leland Initiative: Africa Global Information Infrastructure Gateway Project (698-0565) Strategic Objective 3: End-User Applications Internet for Development: Applications and Training School-to-School Partnership Ghana February 17 -18, 1997 Prepared for: United States Agency for International Development Africa Bureau, Office of Sustainable Development USAID/Accra Prepared by: Zoey Breslar United States Agency for International Development Policy and Program Coordination Center for Development Information and Evaluation Research and Reference Services Project operated by the Academy for Educational Development March 1997 Introduction The purpose of the Leland Initiative’s School-to-School Partnership program is to promote win-win partnerships between schools in Africa and the United States via the Internet. In African countries, this Initiative, in conjunction with the USAID mission’s bilateral funds, may assist schools in becoming aware of the academic uses of the Internet, and in acquiring the hardware and training needed to participate in the Partnership. The benefits of the Leland Initiative’s School-to-School Partnership are four-fold. First, it gives students a meaningful introduction to new technologies and provides them with the skills and the means to access resources previously unavailable due to high communications costs and limited communications technologies in Africa. Second, it aids faculty and administrators to enhance their skills and provides them with resources to further develop their curricula. Third, the dialogue and projects created through this Partnership will enrich the African resources available on the Internet, supplying much-needed information about Africa to the world. These are linkages essential to today’s global economy, the means by which Africa will leapfrog into the 21st century.

  • Dr Efua Sutherland a Biographical Sketch
    KOFI ANYIDOHO Dr Efua Sutherland A Biographical Sketch N 21 J A N U A R Y 1 996 I the African world lost one of its most O remarkable daughters of the twentieth century: Dr Efua Theodora Suther­ land. "Auntie Efua" is best known for her pioneering work as a cultural visionary and activist, her impact on society at once comprehensive and enduring. Teacher, research scholar, poet, dramatist, and social worker, she devoted her life to the building of models of excellence in culture and education, and to the training of young people who would carry her vision into the far future. Born in Cape Coast on 27 June 1924, she was named after her maternal great­ grandmother Nana Ama Nyankoma. Her father, Harry Peter Morgue from the family of Chief Moore of Nsona Paado, Cape Coast, was a well-known teacher of English who once taught at Accra Academy. Her mother, Harriet Efua Maria Parker, was from the royal families of Gomua Brofo and Anomabu, particularly the branch founded by Barima Ansaful at Gyegyano, Cape Coast. Despite her royal birth, Efua had a very humble and difficult early life; her eventual greatness may be more of a personal achievement than an inherited family fortune. Her young mother died in a lorry accident at age 18, leaving 5-month old Efua in the care of her grandmother Araba Mansa, whose personal sacrifice and example of hard work as a baker ensured Efua's survival and provided the single most important impact on her later development into a most resourceful personality.
