Obviously i need to break things down for you ewe idiots . The Germans being the lead tribe of Europe isnt as stupid as you wish , more than half of the Nobel prize winners before the second world war were german yet Hollywood British and Jewish propaganda has made them appear to be silly and petty but if you look deep and do your research you will see even the war was a brilliant maneuver to save the future of their people . today we see the only true winners of that war are the Germans , Japanese , Chinese , Russians and the only superpower the Americans. we Akans have embarked on a similar path to also ensure the future for our children without you. whether we separate in peace like Czechoslovakia or rivers of your blood flow is your choice . personally i would prefer war so we wipe you out in revenge for what you have done since kotoka. the Germans know this is inevitable so they have given their respect and we in return will make a strategic alliance with them so they have all the natural resources they need just as Obama did for the Americans. your Chinese criminal allies you sent us we shall send back to you . like it or not we are number one with the potential beyond your dreams which any enlightened mind can see . we shall secure a standard for our people better than Beverly hills and unlike you we know how but never with you fools. check Forbes list of the top ten richest Ghanaians and guess what not a single envious ewe in fact mainly Akans and all made it before the intensive persecution of the ewe dominated rawlings regime. since then a stunted growth and misery but no more, payback time is very soon , long live the Republic of Akan

The NDC would have to explain to Ghanaians how a dead man came to author and sign a letter!

The opening paragraph states, “I came to serve; I have finished my time here on earth and have moved on to everlasting rest and celestial duties with my heavenly father.”

The immediate question is; how did the dead man come to sign his own personal tribute, since he is already in heaven?

The letter then goes on melodramatically, “As you leaf through these pages of my life’s story, I pray to God that it touches your heart in many positive ways. Weep not, I am not dead. I am alive and awake in the Lord. Ghana will not die; Ghana will live to declare the works of the Lord. As I rest in perfect peace in the celestial realms with my maker, I pledge to always uphold and defend the good name of Ghana. Remember the Lord in all your ways and He will protect you. Stay well my brothers and sisters, I will always be with you. Signed (with actual signature) John Evans Atta Mills...

It is people like Cha who doomed our educational system Karikari talks about the 3Rs but they failed that also. Engineers who do not know the difference between a bolt or a nut and when their cars break down need a mechanic. Akufo Addo talks about the German model of apprenticeship but his father closed down the factories.

I think it was an Honorary Doctorate Degree that was conferred on him. If he decides to, and wants to use it, let us allow him. After all, many Ghanaians know that degree was not achieved as an academic degree. Do you know that Kwame Nkrumah was also called Doctor and his also was an Honorary Degree. There are people like Rawlings and Kuffour who have Honorary degrees but do not call themselves Doctors at any forum. Let us leave Spio alone.

Please stop calling this man a doctor because he has no doctorate degree. He has an "honorary" doctorate like Rawlings, Otumfour and others who don't walk around calling themselves "Dr".

Our educational system, syllabus and teaching methodology has been the same. The rote learning and emphasis on the 3Rs are still in force. Students in High schools never get the chance to receive any job skills except selling after school. At the university, they still do not get on the job training. So after school, all they know to do is look for office job, do buying and selling. Something serious needs to be done about our educational system

It is strange that a former CEO of Commonwealth Telecommunicaion Organisaion is dwelling on same old economy disciplines when the world has moved on big time into ICT based courses - data infrastructure/systems etc such as building apps, data warehousing etc. well it looks as though we are still marking time in ideas. I thought many of our students are already into marketing, economics, sales, management, accounting, HR etc

Spio should have raher hinted on the missing link between academic institutions, labour market and perhaps the govt. such collaboration would ensure whether curricula is meeting industry needs. revisiting "the industrial age of the 16th and 17th centuries" would only take us back to the 16th and 17th centuries and would surely be unfit for the 21st century knowledge economy. we realy need a propor appraisal of where we want to be, Spio - 16th - 17th century or 21st century onwards?

Dr. Spio-Garbrah is the president of the university he does not need the educational system to tell him what to do to have his graduating students ready for the real world.
What Ghana's graduating students, both secondary and post secondary education) lack has always been practical application of what it was they claim to have learned or mastered. Dr. Spio-Garbrah, as President of an institution, need to put his money where his mouth is and undertake implementation of his wishful or desired changes in the course structure and or curriculum of some of the subject disciplines at his university before preaching to the nation. Show us what you are talking about by ensuring your graduating students have both the theoretical know-how and the desirable application aptitude to gain employment numbers where none could.

Spio where were you when your colleague criminal fake revolutionary poor rats P/NDC were making the destructively unthinkable and the despicable educational policies that changed and wrecked to destroy our once enviable educational systems that set the country's education clock backwards?

Have you now seen the light and want a change to our former progressive selves after your contribution has already damaged our once noble and proactive education systems and made it suffered from unrecovery state, destroyed all that the selfless missionaries and the great Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah did for our country's education which made us brilliantly proud and a powerful academic nation.

The shame and the embarrassment is, Ghana is today producing academic illiterates who are not market ready as results of the primitively thought P/NDC political/education policies which disgustingly forced our children to put on one identical school uniform as if Ghana was a communist state.

All of you including your master criminal Rawlings must be made to face prosecuted for bringing mother Ghana on her pathetic knees not only in education but in every area of our social economic and political developments.

The term employablity is wrongly used in this context.Because employability is not the same as employment.Employability is a set of assets such as knowledge, skills and abilities that one possess and how it is presented to an employer for a job so it cannot be equated as employment rate.He should have said employment rate and not employability rate.
