  Way before India reached 50 years of independence in the late 1970s, they were manufacturing TATA buses due higher technical education.
  We have whole regions in Ghana not even passing Basic Education Exams and we say what?
  If we can reduce the number of MPs and use that money for education and research centers and in ten years, we can have core number of strong engineering students to be able to manufacture and build anything that we need for the status of MIDDLE INCOME NATION, but when grown men can not curtail their gross appetite to be BIG MEN, then we all can forget that M.I.N.
  Grown men acting as kids with INSTANT GRATIFICATION SYNDROME.

  There are some specific fields that we lack the needed expertise. To solve this problem the government of Ghana has over the decades made scholarships available for Ghanaians to study abroad in these fields. In some instances several people have been sent and not even one of them has returned. If you know very well that you are not prepared to live and work in this country and would therefore not return do not take these scholarships.
  
  The Takoradi Poly Students who were sacked for applying with fake certificates must be prosecuted in a court of competent jurisdiction. Just sacking them is not enough.
  
  Nowadays businesses and government organisations have stopped demanding Secondary School Certificate or Basic Education Certificate.
  
  Each of these certificates are important. For example for many tertiary graduates the only certificate that can tell whether one can speak good English or whether one has adequate knowledge of Mathematics is the Secondary School Certificate.
  
  Similarly the only certificate that can tell whether a tertiary graduate has basic knowledge of Ghanaian history, culture, agriculture and the basic geography of West Africa is the Basic Education Certificate.
