Ghana experiments with civic education
“Ghana Experiments with Civic Education” is an article by Fred Hayward featured in Africa Report in the May 1971 edition. Hayward discusses the origins of the Center for Civic Education and stresses its importance to Ghana’s commitment to just government. The CCE, Hayward reports, is committed to honest, efficient, democratic government and emphasizes the role of the citizen in the democratic political system. Hayward argues it is imperative that the CCE remain a non-partisan agency and refers to it as an “innovative experiment in civic education.”
