About Kwame
Kwame Asante is jamb.guide's contributing writer on West African higher education, with a particular focus on how admission frameworks across Anglophone West Africa compare and where they diverge. From his base in Accra, he writes about the parallels between WASSCE and UTME, regional admissions cooperation, and the cross-border movement of students and qualifications. His pieces for jamb.guide bring a comparative lens to Nigerian education stories — examining how Ghanaian, Sierra Leonean and Liberian systems have evolved alongside Nigeria's, and what each system can learn from the others. He also covers regional scholarship landscapes and the rise of pan-African university partnerships. He has been writing about African higher education for the better part of a decade.
