Key Points

To examine historical fluctuations in post-independence language-in-education policies in Ghana and analyze why bilingual education models repeatedly shift over time.
Conducted a historical policy review of educational language strategies in Ghana from British colonial administration through post-independence governments.
Analyzed structural tensions between national educational objectives, government leadership turnover, and real-world sociolinguistic practices across multilingual populations.
Language-in-education policies in Ghana have experienced continuous instability, shifting back and forth between different forms of bilingual education.
Policy fluctuations stem from both instability in governmental leadership and underlying conflicts between rigid linguistic assumptions and actual multilingual practices in communities.
