摘要：

This paper reviewed the level of Geoscience education in Ghana and offers recommendations for improvement. The review showed that Geoscience education in Ghana the public are weak. Currently, the level of Geoscience content in the formal educational curricula of Basic and Senior High schools as well as colleges of education in Ghana is very low. In addition, out of 129 universities in Ghana, only seven offer Geoscience or Geoscience-related programs. To improve the level of formal Geoscience education we recommend the following: (1) introduce geoscience degree programs in colleges of education, (2) introduce Geoscience as a subject in the Senior High School curriculum, (3) improve the Geoscience content in the Basic holders to promote Geoscience outreach in Ghana.
