Our commitment

myPathway.app exists to help Ghanaian students navigate the path to university admission with confidence and clarity. We aim to be a trusted resource, providing accurate information about university programmes, academic preparation, and career guidance. We uphold the highest standards of editorial integrity to ensure that every piece of content serves our mission.

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.

Our editorial process

Research and sourcing

Our content creation begins with thorough research. We rely on primary sources, reputable secondary sources, and input from education specialists to ensure accuracy and relevance, particularly for content related to WASSCE grading and university requirements.

Review and approval

Every piece of content on myPathway.app undergoes a multi-step editorial process to ensure quality:

  • Drafting: Content is written by our team of writers, who are guided by our editorial principles and mission.
  • Fact-checking: A dedicated editor verifies all factual claims, cross-referencing with primary sources.
  • Editing: The content is reviewed for clarity, tone, and alignment with our style guidelines.
  • Post-publication: We continuously monitor and update content to reflect changes in university requirements, WASSCE policies, or other relevant developments.

Updates and revisions

Education is a dynamic field, and we are committed to keeping our content current. Our team regularly reviews and updates articles to ensure they reflect the latest information. For example:

  • If a university changes its admission criteria, we update our eligibility guides accordingly.
  • Blog posts are revisited to ensure that advice remains relevant, such as updating study tips to reflect new educational trends. We may also revise content based on user feedback to better meet the needs of our audience.

Independence and objectivity

myPathway.app maintains strict editorial independence. We do not accept payment or incentives for editorial coverage, ensuring our content remains unbiased and objective. Key points include:

  • Our content is created solely to serve our audience’s needs, free from external influence by advertisers, sponsors, or other third parties.
  • While our WordPress blog section may include ad networks starting in 2026, these will be clearly labelled as advertisements and will not influence our editorial content.
  • We do not allow universities or other institutions to dictate the content of our eligibility guides or articles, ensuring impartiality.

User-submitted content

myPathway.app encourages user engagement through comments on blog posts, reviews, testimonials, and feedback. However, we have strict guidelines to ensure user-submitted content aligns with our standards:

  • Relevance: Submissions must be related to education, university admissions, or the mission of myPathway.app.
  • Respectful language: Content must not contain offensive, defamatory, or discriminatory language.
  • Legality: Submissions must not infringe on third-party rights (e.g., copyright) or violate Ghanaian laws.
  • Moderation: We reserve the right to review, edit, or remove user-submitted content that violates these guidelines. If your content is removed, we will notify you where possible. We may also seek your consent to display testimonials or feedback on our Site, particularly if it includes identifiable information.

Use of AI in content creation

We are committed to maintaining the authenticity and human connection in our content. As such, we do not use AI writing tools (e.g., ChatGPT) to generate content for myPathway.app. All articles, guides, and resources are written by our human editorial team, ensuring a personal and relatable voice that resonates with Ghanaian students.
