Ghana's inflation rate is one of the highest in the world, much of it driven by rising food prices. In this programme Ruth Alexander asks how Ghana went from being the world's fastest growing economy in 2019, to financial crisis today. Economist John Asafu-Adjaye, at the African Center for Economic Transformation based in Ghana, explains why much of the country's food is imported. Lydia Amenyaglo explains why historically cocoa has not been made into chocolate in Ghana, instead shipped elsewhere to be manufactured.

In low and middle income countries, poorer and marginalized people often find themselves excluded from programs aimed at raising education levels. The U.S. provides aid to countries in a wide range of areas, but only 4% of that money involves education initiatives, which may disappear if the Trump administration goes through with proposed foreign aid spending cuts. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, is looking at different ways to tackle educational inequalities. Host Dan Loney speaks with Suzanne Grant Lewis, Director of the International Institute for Educational Planning for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and Dan Wagner, Chair in Literacy and Learning at Penn’s Graduate School of Education, to discuss what kind of goals and strategies UNESCO are considering on Knowledge@Wharton.

In many parts of the world, students commonly attend and pay for private tutoring classes. Sometimes these extra classes are for remedial purposes, giving students additional help on content covered in mainstream school. Other times students use private tutoring to prepare for school examinations. The phenomenon of private tutoring is diverse around the world, and researchers commonly use the term “Shadow Education” to describe it. Tutoring is considered a shadow because it often mimics the curriculum of regular schooling – as the content of the curriculum changes in regular schooling, so it changes in the shadow; and as the regular school system expands or contracts, so does the shadow system My guest today is Mark Bray, UNESCO Chair Professor in Comparative Education at the University of Hong Kong, and Director of its Comparative Education Research Centre. He is also President-Elect of the US-based Comparative & International Education Society (CIES). And I should add, was my advisor during my doctoral studies. He moved to Hong Kong in1986, but from 2006 to 2010 took leave to work in Paris as Director of UNESCO’s International Institute for Educational Planning. He has written extensively on shadow education. His latest book, co-edited with Ora Kwo and Boris Jokić, is entitled “Researching private supplementary tutoring: methodological lessons from diverse cultures.” I speak with Mark about researching shadow education and then turn to the annual conference of CIES, which he is currently planning.

A public seminar from the Department of Education, delivered by Dr Roger Barnard. This presentation discusses a number of current issues and concerns relating to English Language policies with particular attention to educational contexts in Asia. It begins with identifying the goals of a language policy. It is then suggested that, to be effective, a language policy needs to take into consideration the contexts in which the implementation is intended. There follow examples of language policies in specific contexts, each of which begins with a brief sociolinguistic sketch and ends with some questions about the wisdom of current policies: the choice of official languages (Timor Leste); the curricular aims of English as a Foreign Language (Vietnam); the early introduction of English as a foreign language (Korea); ‘native’ and ‘non-native’ English speaking teachers (Japan); English as the medium of instruction in primary schools (Malaysia) and in universities (Thailand). The presentation concludes by emphasising the need for further research that takes into account the influence of sociocultural factors in the specific contexts where policies are to be implemented. It also argues for a reconsideration of the tendency of educational language policies to be imposed on, rather than negotiated with, key stakeholders, chief among which are the teachers who have to interpret and implement the policies.

Today Andrés Correa interviews Venezuelan priest and professor Luis Ugalde. A highly respected voice among social and political analysts in Venezuela, Luis Ugalde is the former rector of Universidad Católica Andrés Bello, and currently serves as the Director of the Center for Educational Planning and Reflection of the Jesuits, and the Central Conference of Jesuit Provincials in Latin America. He has pursued and graduated with degrees in Philosophy, Literature, Theology and Sociology. Speaking today as a Doctor in History, his viewpoint is that of a specialist in the Social and Economic History of Venezuela. In this podcast he speaks about the attacks from Venezuelan government to the Catholic Church over the last 15 years, and points out that, even though there are elections, there is no real democracy in Venezuela. Professor Ugalde also denounces the government’s use of the school system to indoctrinate the population ideologically, a population that continuously resists these attempts. He projects a very difficult year for the Venezuelan economy, and argues that the silence of the OAS about the "hegemonic will" in Venezuela is due to the country’s mass imports from Brazil as well as the government’s numerous irresponsible donations. Nevertheless, having studied several crises as a former member of the Social Equity Forum of the Inter-American Development Bank, he remains optimistic.
