Digest ■ article, ■ the Hon. Alex
Qiiaison-Sackey, chief of the Per
manent Mission of Ghana to the
United Nations told of his na
tion’s efforts in relation to the
problem of social change.
"We have been much alive
to the problems of urbaniiatlon
and tha general movement of
people to more lucrative and
mere developed areas in Ghana,
. an so, for the last 10 years, that
Is, since 1951 when we achieved
Internal self-gov«ntmei>t, w e
haya concentrated our energies
on Such social v.'elfare prob
lems."
“The Qhana Government,” con
tinues Ambassador Quaison-Sack-
ey, ‘‘has been spending about one-
fifth of the national revenue of
some $240-miilion on education in
primary schools, trade schools
and vocational schools in. r,ural
areas.
"Our Community Development
programme ■ which is described by
United. Nations experts as far
reaching, and, perhaps, the most
advanced in Africa has also been
grapplipg with the task of getting
people, especially in the rural
•i«as, to be inierested in the so-
-«(at dewl^m«ttt of their own
areas.”
“Through .the medium * of our
Build^H Brigade established
throtlgiout ihe country,” contin-
uea^ Ambassador, “young men
and women up to the age of 20
are taught how to build schools,
houses; ‘ roads and to manage
mechanised farms. Health Centers
aiid' CHnies are rTSlhg like mush
rooms.”
In .summing up his comments
on the Digest article, Ghana’s Am
bassador to the UN says, “There
Is thus a tremendous effort be
ing undertaken in Ghana to make
the rural areas no less attractive
than big towns like Accra, Kuma-
ti, and Siekondi-Takoradi.”
