  That makes sense. Hold on briefly. That's the way to go.

  Honorable Minister, the fact is that many of these post-retirement lecturers are of no use to the universities. They don't do any research to benefit society. Some of them are a nuisance to students to the extent that all they know is just frustrated students with useless referrals. Some of them can't even lecture effectively; they come to lecture rooms, talk for about five minutes and ask their TAs to take over. There are young men and women holding doctorate degrees who are ready to take over. These old folks must be booted out to sanitize our university system.

  I find myself in agreement with AK’s assessment regarding the current state of higher education. There appears to be a disconnect between academic curricula and the practical skills required in the field. It is becoming increasingly clear that we need to re-examine our educational foundations to better prepare graduates for real-world challenges. Is it the teaching methods or the aged lecturers.

  Nobody is forcing a lecturer to retire at 60yrs. You can continue lecturing but not under government payroll... Is that too much??

  One lecturer at a university who has done 10 years and is now part-time can be teaching and all of a sudden forget he is and will ask the entire class to close their eyes and pray for Ghana. Another prof was also always getting angry when asked questions by students who do not understand. Some departments have more retired lecturers compared to active staff
  
  Universities are abusing the retirement contract
