<\/a><\/p>\nThe President noted that, the joblessness and under-employment that have blighted the lives of Ghana’s youth will be overcome, \u201cwhen we provide laboratories and workshops and the qualified teachers that would turn out skilled school leavers.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to him, every new policy his government seeks to\u00a0introduce, such as the 1-District-1-Factory, and 1-Village-1-Dam, requires skilled people to make them work.<\/p>\n
\u201cScience, technology and technical skills, rule agriculture and the entire food industry, and that is where the jobs are. Remember the programme for Planting for Food and Jobs, which I rolled out recently at Goaso in the Bring Ahafo Region? Science, technology and technical skills rule industry, and you rule yourself out if you are not appropriately equipped. That is why we are insisting on the policy of One District, One Factory,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
To this end, the President assured that his government will prioritize a change in the country\u2019s education system to pay the deserved attention to skills training, adding that \u201cthe provision of laboratories and workshops would be paramount. This would involve huge investments in infrastructure and the proper training of teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n
In order to start the process of \u201ctrying to turn the technical in the name of your school into a reality\u201d, President Akufo-Addo pledged the construction of \u201ca modern, well-equipped workshop\u201d, which, he said will be an appropriate structure to mark his visit to Mafe-Kumasi Sec-Tech.<\/p>\n
With the Japanese government helping to build a science laboratory in the school, President Akufo-Addo was confident that \u201cthe addition of a modern and well-equipped workshop complex would transform your school.\u201d<\/p>\n
