3 h. ago AI, cheating, and collapsing reading habits: Ghana’s education system at a crossroads

Ghana’s education sector is facing a mounting crisis as the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in schools, rampant exam malpractice, and a sharp decline in reading culture converge to threaten learning outcomes nationwide. Experts warn that without urgent reforms, the country risks producing a generation of students who hold certificates but lack fundamental skills. Professor Stephen Adei, a prominent Ghanaian educationist, has described the situation as a reflection of a “moral decay that is eating into the fabric of our nation.” Speaking earlier this year, he noted that exam malpractice has become so normalised that many no longer see it as wrong.

1 week ago Does Eating Sugar Cause Diabetes? – Revisiting a Popular Question

Every November, as we mark Diabetes Awareness Month, one question resurfaces: Does eating sugar cause diabetes? For decades, this question has driven nutrition debates, yet the science reveals a far more layered answer than a simple yes or no.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) develops primarily due to insulin impairment or insulin resistance, influenced by genetics, excess calorie intake, and lifestyle factors such as low physical activity, and not sugar alone per se. However, sugar plays a role, particularly in how it is consumed. Before we get to the sugar issue however, let us try to understand what the terms insulin impairment and insulin resistance mean.
