S03E76 Addressing Efficiency and Equity Gaps in Education Financing

In this episode, Senyo speaks with education economist and researcher Dr. Peter Anti-Partey on the realities of education financing in Ghana and across Africa. Far from a simple case of "no money," Dr. Anti-Partey reveals how political interests, inefficient spending, and a disregard for data-driven equity are stalling educational progress. The episode further examines the role of citizens and civil society in demanding long-term reforms and why sustainable educational development requires leaders willing to think beyond election cycles. Drawing on his extensive field experience with organizations like UNESCO and UNICEF, Dr. Anti-Partey demonstrates that the true crisis isn't just about how much we spend, but how wisely and equitably we invest in the next generation.
