  There are many fields where Ghana lacks the needed expertise. To solve this problem the government of Ghana has over the decades made scholarships available for the needed human resource to be trained abroad. In some cases so many people were sent and not even one returned. If you know you are not prepared to work and live in Ghana and would therefore not return do not take the 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.

  So the GNA reporters went to this functions only to report the speech of the Minister? They never cared to find out who the members were let alone the background and experience. What journalism.

  I would hope the new council will work towards ensuring post-graduate students after finishing their course work and leaving campus, have their required thesis completed and approved by the appropriate thesis committee.
  There have been many cases of post-graduate students completing course work and leaving campus without a completed thesis work, in some cases over two years after completion of course work. This is not acceptable of any tertiary university worth its salt. The thesis is in partial fulfillment towards the post-graduate degree, and its completion depends not only on the student, but the supervisor, the thesis committee and the university governing body. It is a requirement for "completion" of the post-graduate course work in universities that matter.
  Hence students leaving after "completion of course work" with the thesis outstanding, and hence no post-graduate degree, is a serious blot and failure on the academic standing of the university, and less so for the poor student. It shows a serious failure of the machinery of post-graduate education.
  On that score, UCC better look at their post-graduate programme structure, determine the quality of supervision and adherence to schedule, and ensure that their post-grad programme lives up to name, not just existence.
