Ghana’s first-ever liberal arts at Ashesi University

 

To most people, starting the first-ever liberal arts college in Ghana, a country where just one in 20 students go to college, would seem like a fantasy. But software millionaire Patrick Awuah saw it as an opportunity.

I realized that most of the problems in this country and the rest of the continent, leadership is a fundamental problem. I felt if we could change the way that group was educated, then we would change the continent,” Mr. Awuah said in an interview with the MacArthur Foundation.
