Education has been accepted as the process by which individuals acquire knowledge, skills and attitude which helps them to expand their mental horizon in full worldwide. It is universally accepted because it has guaranteed the best way of eradicating ignorance. Due to myriads of benefits and opportunities that come with good education, successive governments of Ghana have sought to priorities education as a trajectory for accelerating the implementation of growth and developmental programmes. The study sought to find out the impact of political transitions on Ghana’s educational system, a case study from the 4th Republic. The study dwelled mainly on primary sources of data collected through questionnaires from a multi-stakeholder institutions and groups. The study revealed among others that, successive governments from the 4th Republic have been indeed affecting changes in the educational system. It has led to the establishment of a strong and variable educational system. Thus one structured to meet the developmental needs of the country. On the contrary, it has allowed politicians to manipulate the educational system to suit their whims and caprices. Again, it has affected the teacher-student contact period.
