The President of the University of Education, Winneba chapter of the Graduate Students\u2019 Association of Ghana (GRASAG), Stephen Osei Akyiaw, has suggested the need for government to devote enough funds for research to enhance the formulation and implementation of the \u2018One District, One Factory\u2019 programme.<\/p>\n
According to him, a strong link between government\u2019s plan and related quality research works will form a bedrock for the implementation of the policy.<\/p>\n
Osei Akyiaw gave the suggestion in an interview with Citi News<\/strong> at the chapter\u2019s 2nd International Multidisciplinary Conference for Post Graduate Students held today (Tuesday) at the University on the theme: Reshaping Graduate Studies for Sustainable Development of the African Continent.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He, however, asked the academia for well thought out quality research works that will prove relevant to industry and national policy.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will surprise you to know that some of the research works done by some graduate students are not the best, so sometimes you send it and you realize that the supervisor or the institution has no option than to push it aside. Some are also very relevant, and I can tell you that most of the relevant ones are pushed,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n Government has announced an ambitious industrialization plan through its \u2018One District, One Factory\u2019 policy; however, concerns from diverse quarters have been expressed about the clarity of the policy and its success.<\/p>\n The graduate students are of the view that tapping the rich findings and recommendations from various research works that relate to the policy could be a way of addressing the concerns.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
