Unless the buffoons realize that production builds a nation they will keep on taking bribes and loans till we bury our asses in the white man's underwear and still begging. Buy Machines, train boys and girls to manufacture anything they program for the machines to cut. Where do you think America, Japan, China, Germany get their money from to loan your fat asses ? Teach them programming and mechanical design purchase machines and put them to work then wait for two years and come back to shake my hands you buffoons. You can manufacture anything from door knobs to engines with no sweat at all, you apes must learn from the white folks - dont beg them for loan money

There's absolutely nothing in existing curriculum at the tertiary institutions that prevent or forbid school administrations from accepting and or promoting ideas of market place priorities. Institutions have almost always done things that come very natural to its ranks. No one can expect instructors and administrators who earned their very own credentials not by hands on but by classroom theory settings to have the skills and or the courage to go where they lack in skills set. There is no desire for graduating students to love practical application of the theories either knowing they would have to go into the heat of the sun to earn an honest living; barking instructions to unskilled and semi educated workers from an A/C room all dressed up is the mark of success in Ghana and we could not expect much. How many so-called engineers work in the field relative to those working from offices? How many engineers saw a day in their school days at a construction site doing real work? How many instructors at our wonderful tertiary institutions make arrangements with employers to have hands on training for students while they earn grades for participating in such programs? But the ultimate question must be reserved for businesses in Ghana who do not put their money where they yark? In industrialized nations it is common for businesses, private and public, to endow or fund course programs that benefit students and trade groups knowing that graduating students from such programs would be ready for specific job markets. In Ghana we are all talk; students and industry alike.

I will not hesitate to say:
Futurology - to prepare our graduates to forecast the future of our nation,
and Ecology - to be ready for environmental stewardship.

Ghana Syllabus must meet industrial revolution from K1 to end of tertiary education.
My children start in the UK from the study of Matter, Energy, Space and Time, illustrated by the study of the Solar system and energy, Cutty Sark and the Oceans, industrial revolution initiatives, the environmental impact, etc. The curriculum contains theory and practical and tangible learning outcome.

I will rather use the term curriculum and not syllabus. To me syllabus denotes basically contents of a curriculum, I.e. the intended learning outcomes.
And I'm suggesting to you, Dr. Glah & to Onyemi Okai that the curriculum for 21 st. Ghana has got to be specifically tailored to our culture & STEMIC needs of our nation, and not UK, Singapore, China or any other country.
The learning outcomes should see to it that the concepts taught are well understood, appreciated, and graduating students able to apply what was learned individually or in collaboration with others; and also are able to use thinking skills that involve observing, classifying, defining, comparing & contrasting, generalizing, synthesizing, predicting & hypothesizing, and evaluating.
The alternative Ghana futures we are crafting must include such a revised curriculum for our country.

the nation must position itself to encourage research. Politicians must know that we need research and our schools to develop. we are at a point where politicians are trying to say that everything is okay in this country -- we should admit that we have problems and must do everything to bring people on board to solve them

It is time to consult those smaller nations with higher developmental achievements as they are the best example one can lay hands on to copy in relation to the topic in question, namely the revision of our tertiary academic curriculum.
It is naturally good to have a curriculum that befits the present system in relation to the future of our graduates who will contribute with their expertise in all areas of our national development.
In other words, with your experience give way to common sense so that you work together on feasible aggreement in the interest of our educational achievements, which eventually will land our nation in the level of Singapore, South Korea China etc.
