  IT IS STILL A PITY WE DO NOT KNOW WHY WE ARE ECONOMIC BACKWARD,UNDERDEVELOPED AND HEAVILY INDEPTED POOR COUNTRY(HIPC)IN THE WORLD.
  
  
  TURNING EVEN MAJOR CEMETRIES INTO TECHNICAL UNIVERSITUES WILL NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  WHAT GHANAIANS HAVE TO ASK THEMSELVES, HAVE THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING THEIR SO CALLED PROFESSORS,DEANS, HEAD OF DEPARTMENTS AND THE SO CALLED EDUCATED WITH BIG DEGREES AND PHD TITLES MADE A ''DENT'' WITH THEIR ACQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS TO TURN THE WHEELS OF INDUSTRIALIZATION AND TO STIMULATE ECONOMIC GROWTH IN GHANA.
  
  HOW DO YOU TURN VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED TO EDUCATE AND TRAIN MIDDLE LEVEL PROFESSIONAL SKILLS IN THE TRADES(ARTISANS AND TECHNICIANS)
  NEEDED AS QUALITY SKILLED FORCE TO BOOST PRODUCTION IN THE MANUFACTURING AND PROCESSING PLANTS.
  
  IT IS A PITY TO SAY, WE ARE STILL LOST IN THE WILDERNESS.
  
  WE HAVE ONLY BEEN EDUCATED FOR NOTHING.
  
  ALMOST SIXTY YEARS OF STATEHOOD, AND THE EDUCATED HAVE STILL FAILED TO UNDEDRSTAND WHAT VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING MEANS TO A COUNTRY.
  
  GERMANY IS AHEAD OF THEIR TIME BECAUSE OF GOOD VOCATIONAL TRAINING WORKFORCE.
  
  SAD FOR THE NATION.

  OPAYIN DWOMOH,
  
  YOU NEED TO KNOW, THE SO CALLLED COMMITTEE WHICH WAS APPOINTED AND CHARGED TO TURN VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL SCHOOLS TO TECHNICAL UNIVERSITIES MIGHT HAVE BEEN MEN AND WOMEN, NOISY AND SHALLOW MINDED ''EDUCATED'' WHO HAD NO IDEA ON HOW VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL SCHOOLS OPERATES IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD.
  
  IT IS INDEED A FACT THAT,TECHNICAL UNIVERSITIES IN THE NORTH DO COLLOBORATE WITH THE INDUSTRIES IN THE SCIENTIFIC, EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY OF NEW PRODUCTS FOR VITAL USE AT THE LABOUR MARKET:
  
  PROFESSOR, ARE WE SO WIDE AT ALL WITH DYNAMIC INDUSTRIES IN OUR HEAVILY INDEPTED POOR COUNTRY(HIPC)IN THE WORLD.
  
  THESE ARE THE VERY OEMPTY HEADED PEOPLE WHO CONTINUE TO DESTROY OUR LAND OF OUR BIRTH FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH INTERESTS.
  
  I WOULD HAVE HOPED, TO HAVE THEIR IMMEDIATE REMOVAL FROM THEIR POSTS FOR RECOMMENDING TO THE GOVERNMENT ON SUCH A MAD ADVENTURE, WHICH ARE TO FURTHER TO DESTROY THE VOCATIONAL AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING, CHARGED TO PRODUCE QUALITY SKILLED WORKFORCE FOR INDUSTRIALIZATION OF A COUNTRY.
  
  SAD WITHOUT FURTHER WORDS.

  In our country, Ghana, it's the students who would be levied in terms of paying higher fees for infrastructural development which is very bad on the part of the govt. This affirms the notion that education is for the rich. The govt should sit up and reflect. Good article, prof kodus
