INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GHANA HAVE THESE TO SAY | NANCY OWUSUAA 

And the way our twi is everywhere even in strictly formal settings and people are still able to"avoid" it is "impressive". When you go to Central University there's a large number of Nigerian students there who have no dealings with our twi/food etc. It's sad

Nice comment

Twi is not rhe official language of Ghana ... the official language is english ...why is it a necessity for us to learn twi...

It's not but it is the popular language spoken so it will be wise to learn two so you can communicate well with the indige​nes. @@kamcofficiel1208

​@@NancyOwusuaapls, did you forward the concerns of the international students? I'm just curious to know because it's been 3years 😅😅

That's right

Well if u speak for the English countries!! But for a lot of French African countries the cost is not too bad !! In most countries ecowas student pays the same price as locals .. And for an ivorian to go to france to study!! We paying $400 for the year. In a government run university .

In Ghana's case the fees are ridiculous. I know foreign students in Rwanda who pay less than 10, 000 cedis for the whole year, study under quality conditions and have access to transfer to Europe for further studies. Foreign students in Ghana are paying 20,000 cedis and over Aden?

@@markntiri8251 Eii 20k must be fee paying

Loveyu

She is not serious at all😂. I wish she will try and go out to places like Germany, France or any European countries and tell them such.

Ah well

They pay top dollar

Twi is a Ghanaian language and not an African language

@@NancyOwusuaa Well, Ghana is in Africa, therefore it's an African language.

Is Ghana not an African country?

@Nancy Owusua, what is an African Language and what is a Ghanaian language?

@@NancyOwusuaa ghana 🇬🇭our country is in Africa so that make twi an African language.

It's my opinion not yours. Thanks.

I've read lots of reviews of international students about studying in Legon especially US/Europe transfer students and poor academics was cited as a con. These people are exposed to more in-depth knowledge/quality and Ghana should strive to offer them top notch world class current relevant Ivy league university-like knowledge, so their time/money here would be worth it. Ghana receives the second largest number of international US students apart from South Africa. We should do better. University of Ibadan has some futuristic technology in their medical school and beats us in West Africa in world university rankings. We've peace and stability and should leverage on that to offer top notch world class education

Sure

Hmmmm

@clement Asampana Because that lady who complained about speaking twi is from French speaking country she simply want here more English to Improve speaking her skills

@@AlkebulanJahmiah no its not like that. When you go to the French speaking countries the mostly speak French in schools, streets,markets etc but in Ghana its different.

@@ebenTF1 do you have a ghanian friend?if no,then i will recommend you to find one if you don't mind.it is like that in ghana.at school will be speaking english.but the local language in ghana is twi.because our mother tongue is twi so we speak local language outside school so i once recommend you to learn the language and that will make your stay in ghana much more comfortable.do your best dear wish you happy stay in ghana🇬🇭.

Soon

Dollars

😳

@@NancyOwusuaa Yep, and as a local but they are crying of $4,000 for the whole year as international students in Ghana.

In Ghana?

@@imrankhairah3057 no, USA.

Ohh thats understandable . Ghana is way different if compared to USA

Tell them....😂😂. They're lucky sef

Hmmmmm

Oh how

@@NancyOwusuaa The sakai system is always down and also the fact that UG is not a good recommendation for someone who wants to study an IT related course.

Hmmmm

Well the money they pay there help the economy

@@NancyOwusuaa That's all you have to say? Hmmmmmm? This is not really a great comment towards us and you should say more than that. You asked questions and we gave you answers and all you have to say is hmmmmmmmm? It's not you, it's our fault, WE agreed to do the video.

@@beatriceibomongat6482 I understand you. Just relax, some people just don't know how to communicate.

@@beatriceibomongat6482 concentrate more on education put all your effort in studying and achieve what you are there for.See the whole world is doing online studies and less at face to face lectures.so i think is up to you to be serious.Is school providing all the books you need or you are lacking for some books?

And what's wrong with speaking twi?I bet you can speak very good English abi? about twi not crossing borders who told you?do your research well mass...you are one of those with locally acquired accent(LAFA) I bet

Which lecturer lectured in twi? You people always coining new lies.

Eii hmmm

@@eddlove9938 mixing your lectures with even 3 twi word is a serious violation of teaching ethics. You can easily confuse a student who doesnt understand just those 3 words.

@@rachaelbempomaaapenteng4888 please please stop comparing the english language to twi. There is a vast difference. How dare you. You cant even compare twi to swahili or french.

Hmmmm

Can you stop Kenyans and Tanzanians from speaking Swahili in their universities and in their offices. Even though English is their first official language.

@@jonesnyarko8447 You are misinformed and your view does not reflect the subject matter. Nobody is saying stop Ghanaians from speaking Twi in offices or in their local environment. Here, we are talking about an international school with a clear cut motive to cater to the needs of foreign students education wise. You don't come into the class and start speaking Twi to obviously none Twi speaking scholars. That is/was the bone of contention. I went to an international university and it's uncommon to have lecturers give lectures in local language which we obviously do not speak nor understand. UGIC must be consequential, either they remain international in all ramifications or keep to local orientation. How do you want scholars to learn when instructions are giving in language that scholars can't comprehend. Next time, please understand the subject matter before commenting. I was thinking of sending my son to Legon. However, the obvious problems and disadvantages mentioned by those scholars are enough to reconsider my application for him. Look, learning Twi or any other local languages for international students should be a matter of choice. It cannot be the language of instruction in lecture rooms

@@Uncommonconversation7220 in my opinion every foreign student should be made to study one local language like what the medical students do.

@@agoogo5026 You are entitled to your opinion. However, that is not the issue here.... and it is not a requirement for admission ab-initio. Medical students would likely go for practicals in the community, so learning basics of the local language of the community might be a requirement but it is different from/for such language being used as instrumentality of instruction.

Nice remark. And she was asking leading questions sometimes, it "coaches" interviewees to give you answers they think you want to hear. Ask open ended questions, don't express too much emotions/facial expressions and watch people tell you their truths
