• The Problem with AFRICA’s Education System: Lecturer & Innovation Expert Explains 31.05.2026 1j 16min

  In this episode of The Peswa Podcast, we sit down with Kofi Agyeman-Duah Boachie-Danquah — business innovation expert, strategist, and lecturer based in Germany — for a deep conversation on education, innovation, governance, and why many African systems continue to struggle.Kofi breaks down the major differences between educational systems abroad and across Africa, explaining why many African institutions still prioritize memorization and theory over critical thinking, innovation, creativity, and practical problem-solving.We also dive into why innovation is no longer optional for businesses — whether small startups or large corporations. From technology to operations and customer experience, Kofi explains why businesses that fail to adapt eventually collapse.One of the strongest moments in this conversation is his argument that many Ghanaian and African problems ultimately come down to a lack of political willpower. According to him, Africa already has brilliant people, talented youth, and enough resources — but suffers from weak implementation, poor leadership decisions, and systems that resist long-term thinking.This episode is a powerful conversation on:• Education systems in Germany vs Africa• Why many graduates struggle practically• Innovation and business survival• Entrepreneurship and systems thinking• Why African businesses fail to scale• Leadership and governance in Ghana• Political willpower and development• The future of African economiesIf you care about Africa’s future, business, innovation, education, and leadership — this is an episode you need to watch.Subscribe to The Peswa Podcast for more conversations with thinkers, founders, creators, and leaders shaping Africa’s future.
