EDUCATIONAL REFORM IN GHANA: THE SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL ================================================================================ admin on 24 November, 2009 07:54:00 by Nelly Brayz In 1987, Ghana’s Ministry of Education introduced a restructured educational system that gradually replaced the British-based O-level and A-level system. The transition was completed in June, 1996, when the last class took A-level exams. The last O-level exams were administered in June 1994, although remedial exams will be offered through 1999.
