One would wonder what will make someone from another country travel all
the way to Ghana just because of education. it is not as if they do not
have schools in their various countries. there are so many people who
troop in to Ghana to have a better education, this is an indication that the
educational system in Ghana is one of the best in the whole wide
world. could this be the reason for the prang up of so many private
tertiary institutions in the country? gone are the days where people
were worried as to whether they were going to get admission into the
university, nursing or teacher training etc. because of their grade. but this seem
not to be the worries of people anymore, what now is of worry to people is whether
ones finances are good enough to take care of the fees and other assortments.
so what becomes the next step after graduating from school? 'job
hunting', and this doesn't go for everybody, it goes for those with lack
of connections like myself, those of us who do not know 'anybody'. why
this? because while there is an improvement and advancement in the
educational sector, the employment/ business sector seem to be very
stagnant. the slowness of this sector has been of a major challenge to
this country. is it that there are no jobs or employments for upcoming
ones in the country or that the courses they offered in their various
universities have no corresponding jobs in the country. the ministry of
employment would have to do something about unemployment very quickly
because it is getting out of hand. no wonder there are a lot of armed
robbery cases in the country.'' the hand that does not work must not
eat''.
