EIU Think Tank Reports and White Papers

Into The World We Go, The Peace Corps Program As A Facet Of America-Ghana Relations, Godwin Gyimah

2020 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity

After Ghana had attained its independence in 1957, Nkrumah’s greatest domestic challenge became the transformation of the Ghanaian educational system as a tool towards modernizing the newly independent country.

To enhance the ambition of making Ghana self-sufficient, the education sector had a role to …

Trade books in the elementary classroom are increasing in use due to the state and national initiatives encouragement in using diverse texts. By using these texts, teachers allow students to analyze the various representations given to the Titanic’s history. In the subsequent sections, I review history-based curricula and historical significance of the Titanic. The methods of implementation are projected to inform teachers about the …
