Government has initiated processes to modify the country\u2019s educational curriculum in a bid to equip the country\u2019s youth with relevant working skills.<\/p>\n
The move, according to President Mahama is also to ensure that the youth contribute significantly to achieving a diversified economy.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”iAO2nFJJv0FMvAcNnyTVMy5HSYI7dvDa”]Some analysts have expressed confidence that Ghana\u2019s economy like many others across the world, would grow if the private sector is given the necessary support.<\/p>\n
Addressing a session on Empowering Entrepreneurs in New Delhi, India, President Mahama decried the deficiency in the current educational system but assured of efforts to work to reverse the trend,<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a lot of young people coming out of school and having been a country colonized by Britain like India worlds; you have to break out of a grammar school whose mode of education is to read and write very good English but do not really have a practical mindset,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The President added, \u201c\u2026We\u2019re reforming to\u00a0make it more practical; to create a more technical and vocational branch of our education. But people will only go back to it (technical) if they are not able to continue to the tertiary education and get a degree. So re-orienting that whole educational system and equipping people with the skills for the world of work is one of the things that we have been battling with.\u201d<\/p>\n
The President\u2019s visit to India also involved meeting with the Prime Minister of India, Shri Nerendra Modi to discuss bilateral relations.<\/p>\n
He has also been interacting with the Ghanaian Community in New Delhi as well as granting audience to CEOs of a number of leading Indian businesses.<\/p>\n
