I don't blame them, it is the lead poison in our water.

Universities are meant to be centres of analytical thinking, but all they know is smart phone, foreign goods to show off and look to the poor tax payers to depend on after.

This silly trend will end one day when the farmers and poor tax payers wake up.

Go check the libraries and universities archives and you will find how may dissertations have rotten away; new ideas, discoveries and solutions to national problems recommended by graduates that were awarded high grades but nobody cared about after.

I hope you are a graduate. Tell me how the system, how lecturers promote original thinking!!! A university education should primarily help you to exercise your brains, think on your feet, and acquire knowledge that you use for your survival while serving the community you in live in! Your sustained survival is tied to the community's!!! It should not be a place to produce literates who remain uneducated and counter-productive because of the unhelpful environment. They enjoy autonomy in the universities free from Government interference so that original and progressive thinking can be promoted. Yet what do we see, copying of notes, copying the thinking of others for good or bad, partisan politics, early corruption or training in corrupt practices, sometimes even condoned unsanitary conditions. Charity begins at home!!!

Some Ghanaians are very simple minded. When you keep encouraging bad leaders and re establishing members of the ESTABLISHMENT, what do you expect. Blame yourselves for everything.

Thank you a million times over for capturing my sentiments. Our entire educational system needs revamping and those dinosaur professor in the universities forced to retire.

This is my second time reading about this brilliant lady professor Kwapong. She is much younger and sees all the flaws of the old "chew and poor system. I couldn't have put it any better than both of you did.

Both of you have a wonderful day.

Some so-called intellectuals open their mouths anyhow. You don't propound theories without funding.
In the West, huge amounts of money is invested/earmarked for Research & Development, prospective students access this AND their findings are developed.
There are Funding bodies that also support these ideas/projects which WE do not have,Dear Professor!!!

When our leaders concentrate on baseless, fruitless projects how does theories, entrepreneurship take off?
Think about it!!!

Better still graduate students could use existing theories and frameworks as guides and develop their conceptual models to answer their research questions.

here they come again, shallow minded professor's who have added nothing to Ghana's education curricula, all dey knw is to download white man's research work nd sell to students, and then come back to say graduates are half baked, useless professors who can't think out of de box always fighting over research allowance.

how many Professors were able to propound their own models? u see university students hence graduates are stressed with academic activities to the extent that, they only read n pass their exams. the skills side is always missing in action. that is why most of them graduate n they are worse than those who have not yet step their feet there

Theories are not propounded in a vacuum. Graduates must be provided the context and structures that can help them propound theories. Theories are not propounded by a graduate with a bleak future

Come out with a list of your own theories and innovations that have resulted in positive changes in Education in Ghana.

Graduate studies involves hypothesis testing. Theories come evidence, based on hypotheses testing, that are universally accepted in the discipline.
