One of the oldest tourist site is the elmina castle located in elmina the central region of ghana . It was erected by the Portuguese in the year 1482, it was the first trading post built on the gulf of Guinean.
Ghana has so many tourist attraction which i think it would be best experiencing if one visits the country.

EDUCATION: before the arrival of the europeans into ghana the form of education the people had was informal, which is simply explained as apprenticeship. So the europeans were the ones that introduced formal education into the country.
Ghana's education system is didved into three categories which is basic education, senior high education and lastly the tertiary education.
The number of illiteracy since the introduction of the formal education has reduced drastically. Currently as in ghana now almost 7 out 10 people are educated. Even though some are not able to be educated up to the tertiary level but most ghanaians are able to make it up to the senior high level of education.
Some of the well recognised educational institutions in ghana are the kwame Nkrumah university of science and technology university of Ghana and university for development studies.
