President
John Mahama has stated that the demands of the job market have changed
and industries are now interested in skilled and practical personnel
rather than book long graduates.
"The demands of the job market
in Ghana have changed, business and Industries [are] no longer looking
for the book-long grammar school education that some of us received, the
job market today is looking for skilled, practical and technical
personnel."
President Mahama made the comments during the launch
of the conversion of some six Polytechnics to Technical Universities in
Takoradi.
The conversion process has been fraught with a number
of challenges as some of the institutions complained about their
exclusion from the first list of six schools to be upgraded.
At
the launch on the Takoradi Polytechnic campus, Mr. Mahama said technical
and vocational education is very essential to the national development.
