Solomon Owusu, Director of Communications for the United Party, has weighed in on the ongoing Iran–US/Israel conflict with a pointed jab at the opposition New Patriotic Party. Speaking on the matter, Owusu suggested that had the NPP been in government, Ghanaians would have been slapped with yet another levy, this time, an “Iranian levy.” His comments tap into the widespread criticism of the previous administration’s tendency to introduce special levies for various purposes, from the Sanitation Levy to the now-infamous National Cathedral fundraising appeals. While the remark was made in a light-hearted tone, it carries a familiar critique: that the…

In many urban settings, children are losing proficiency in their mother tongues, weakening intergenerational communication and cultural identity. In many rural communities, children struggle with English proficiency, limiting access to education, science, higher learning, and global participation. Addressing one challenge while neglecting the other risks deepening inequality. Background and Evidence Classroom experience and decades of observation reveal that language barriers—not intellectual ability—often constrain student learning outcomes. Rural students may understand concepts but lack the English proficiency required to engage with textbooks and…
