Biography or history
David Bradshaw worked for the Ghanaian Education Service as a tutor in a College of Education, from 1959 until 1963, and later wrote on education. Achimota College was opened in Jan 1927 as a non-denominational Christian institution providing education from pre-school to pre-university level, as well as London University degree courses. It closed in 1943, but re-opened in 1946 as Achimota School and now provides primary and secondary education. Rev. R.C.
