Ghana
The Ministry of Education, Ghana is very much delighted with the publication of this guide which
serves as a funding resource for students in Ghana wishing to pursue their education through

Afurtherchallengeishowtogoaboutthescholarshipapplicationprocess.
As the sector Ministry for Education, it is our collective responsibility to continually look at creative new ways
to provide free education to all students particularly the needy but brilliant students. We are encouraged by
this innovation and see it as an improvement of an earlier document published by the Ministry for Education
in1999astepintherightdirection.
We need to continue the momentum in strengthening partnerships in providing free education for all. Now is

However, in Ghana as in many developing countries, most
students are unable to move from one level of the educational

involved. As a results, a large number of students need to rely on various financial assistance schemes,

althoughnotwithoutitsflaws.
At 13, I was an ordinary teenage girl. I had my favorite movie stars,
my secret crushes, and I probably ate too much chocolate. School
mattered very little to me and learning even less. I worried about
getting good grades in school but only to please my parents. My
happy life consisted of sweet treats and even sweeter thoughts, an
endlessarrayofbite-sizedbanality.
I idolized my older sister. She was five years older than me and my
link to the shadowy world of adulthood that seemed so out of
reach. When she went away, I was devastated. It was one
particularly rainy day, I was lying in her empty bed looking at the
artifacts she'd left behind, clutching an old sweater. My eyes
travelled around the room and came to rest on her bookshelf. For
whatever reason, I picked one book up and began thumbing
throughit.ItwasEmileZola'sGerminalanditwastochangemylife
forever.
Germinal woke me up from my slumber. I began to see the world
around me, to look at it with new eyes. I always thought things like
poverty, greed and injustice happened elsewhere, to people that
more or less deserved it. But the more I read about Etienne,
Catherine, and the Vandame mine, the more I began to realize the
universal nature of suffering. This is part of what makes Zola's
novel a great work of art. It has the power to change the way you
think while also being beautiful. I realized that there were actually
striking miners in my own state. I then became an avid reader of
newspapers and current events. I held a bake sale outside my
schoolforthefamiliesoftheminers.Ididn'traisethatmuchmoney
butitfeltgoodtoatleasttobedoingsomething.
The affect Germinal had on me was not just limited to social
awareness. I also became more aware of other literature, history,
and art. I read other Zola novels which led me to discover Balzac
and his wonderful bookssuch as the sweet sad tale of Pere Goriot. I
also becameinterested in the French Revolution in order to find out
how the month of Germinal came to get its name. When I learned
that the young Zola was a early champion and admirer of Monet
andtheImpressionists,Ibegantonoticeartforthefirsttime.
Now that I am getting ready for college, I feel the effect that
Germinal had on me more than ever. I've read it three times since I
first discovered it and each time I seem to learn new things.
Germinal has changed the way I look at myself and the world
aroundme.Nootherbookhasdonethat.
As we sped down the highway, the quiet and calming hum of the
car seemed somehow at odds with lushness of the Tamale
landscape. Without warning this quiet calm was shattered when
my Uncle Alex yelled, “Firsts!”
“Uh, military railroads”, I mumbled, drawing myself out of a
sleepy reverie.
“A working submarine”, Alex countered quickly.
“Hospital ships.”
“Flame throwers.”
Back and forth we went. It was a great way to pass time when on
a long road trip. I remember this particular trip with such clarity
for two reasons. One was that we were on our way to visit
Nyankpala, the home of Prof James Azurli, a destination that I
had been looking forward to for some time. The second reason
is that the very next day was my birthday. I was turning eight.
I suppose for most children it would have seemed strange to be
spending their birthday at the former home of a great professor
of history. To me it only seemed like a long-awaited treat. My
Uncle Alex was an amateur historian with an infectious love of
learning. Alex's sickness took the form of believing that late 19th
century Ghanaian history was more exciting and more worthy of
our attention than any other period of human existence. It
would prove to be an illness that soon held me under it's spell
also. It all started when Alex bought me Kwame Nkrumah action
figure for my 4th birthday. I remember unwrapping the gift
paper, revealing the strange gaunt figure as my Uncle described
to me in hushed tones who this man was and what he had done
for our country. The real gift that Alex gave me over the years,
however, was that he never acted as if it were odd for a young
boy to have a keen interest in history.
In short, my entire awareness has been shaped and influenced
by my Uncle Alex's colorful pedagogy. I don't know what my life
would have been without his influence but it certainly would
have been different. I'm grateful that I shall never know.
Uncle Alex didn't just teach me about a period of history. He
taught me about life. He taught me the power of opening young
minds to the mystery of knowledge. Most importantly, he taught
me how to live life with excitement and passion. They are
lessons I shall never forget.
