Formal or Nonformal Education? Entrepreneurial Women in Ghana.
Robertson, Claire C.
Comparative Education Review, v28 n4 p639-58 Nov 1984
Ghanian women have a long history as traders. In early 1978, 42 Central Accra schoolgirls and 42 girls engaged in selling were surveyed to determine the relationship of formal education to marketing skills. Formal education was not significantly helpful in promoting schoolgirls' trading knowledge nor in providing skills likely to land them jobs. (BRR)
