Our editorial principles
Accuracy and fact-checking
Accuracy is the cornerstone of our content. We are committed to ensuring that all information on myPathway.app is correct, up-to-date, and reflective of the latest educational standards in Ghana. To achieve this:
- We source data on university programmes and WASSCE requirements directly from official university websites, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), and other credible educational authorities.
- Every piece of content undergoes a rigorous fact-checking process before publication. This includes verifying programme requirements, admission criteria, and statistical data.
- If an error is identified after publication, we will promptly correct it and, where necessary, add a note to the content to inform readers of the update. Transparency in corrections is a key part of our commitment to trust.
Relevance and educational value
Our content is created with Ghanaian students in mind, focusing on their unique needs and challenges. We aim to provide practical, actionable, and inspiring resources that help students achieve their academic goals. This includes:
- Guides on understanding WASSCE grading and university eligibility.
- Blog articles on topics like time management, exam preparation, and career planning.
- Resources that address the specific cultural, educational, and social context of Ghanaian students.
Cultural sensitivity and inclusivity
We are deeply committed to respecting Ghanaian cultural values and promoting inclusivity in our content. We ensure that:
- Our content is free from bias or discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, religion, or socioeconomic background.
- We avoid topics that could be divisive or sensitive, such as political or religious issues, unless they directly impact education and can be addressed in a neutral, factual manner.
- We use language and examples that resonate with Ghanaian students, fostering a sense of belonging and support.
Tone and style
Our content is written in a supportive, motivational, and accessible tone to inspire confidence in our audience. We aim to be a trusted companion for students on their educational journey. Additionally:
- We use British English spelling and grammar conventions (e.g., “programme,” “organise,” “centre”) to align with Ghanaian educational standards.
- We avoid jargon or overly complex language, ensuring our content is clear and understandable for students aged 16 and older.
