I agree numbers matter but our situation is not just numbers, also and much necessary are contents, quality, etc.

Does our education's subjects contents match local issues the nation confronts? Whereas one issue like corruption has turned the country upside down, we are busy studying English histories, shipbuilding in Japan and those bunch of nonsense, how far have the contents of our education been changed to address corruption, talking without action, etc?

"...He explained that access to tertiary education in Ghana, as measured by the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER), is about 12 per cent, and this translates to a total enrolment figure ranging between 280,000 and 300,000."

The issue is not about churning out graduates like some sausage factory, but whether those graduates can be gainfully employed and utilized in our quest for the status as a middle income Nation.

Currently, there are so many graduates who are unemployed. Therefore increasing the number of graduates alone is a non sequitur. What is required is rather creating meaningful jobs that goes towards achieving the status as a middle income Nation, and using tertiary education as a feeder for these jobs.

Damn right. This book professors are our downfall in Ghana. A country without electricity claiming to have reached the middle income status is just a liar or miscalculation. How can reach this level, if companies and industries are unable to productive due to lack of electricity?

How are you going to create jobs for especially these academics without energy?

They talk and talk and talk without any practical solution.

Access to tertiary education in Ghana is NOT elitist. I have also done my research. It is started being Non-elitist from Dr Kwame Nkrumah's era

After listening to some of the so called educated and elite especially the lawyers in Ghana,I have finally understood why the country is retrogressing. Our education has never served any purpose except corruption and dishonesty.Forget about ghanaians abroad returning home to invest. When you employ a ghanaian, they only come in to steal from your business. This a fact.

How does one define middle class in Ghana. Looking at all indicators , Ghana cannot be defined as middle country. It is a country where a selected few people are enjoying mostly politicians including government officials. A country where more than half of the population cannot read and write is not consider as middle class.
