Standard of living in Ghana and Education

As a result to the lack of funding towards education, many Ghanaians cannot afford to send their children to school. This could explain the high agriculture sector labor in Ghana since many do not go or have the chance to receive an education. “Ghana is well endowed with natural resources and agriculture accounts for roughly one-quarter of GDP and employs more than half (about 56%) of the workforce.  Ghanaians are employed industries like “mining, lumbering, light manufacturing, aluminum smelting, food processing, cement...(CIA 2011). Even though Ghana has a strong agriculture workforce many developed countries, like the United States, have moved from agriculture into a technological workforce and due to the lack of education and resources they cannot keep up with the rest of the global market. We can interpret this hypothesis from the data collected about their budget deficit CIA reported in 2011.
