  An infant private school like all nations university has set the pace for technological advancement by launching into the space.
  What's knust doing since its inception as the premier science n technology school in Ghana?
  We don't need the accolades but practical innovation towards creativity and development. This is what Africa is looking up to knust to to do and not churning up mass graduates without equipping them with the tool to think outside the box for wealth creation. Too much theories. Is enough. Is time for knust graduates to collaborate with apostle sarfo kantanka and suame magazine to come out with pragmatic solutions to fuel ghana's imminent industrial revolution .
  Has the knust positioned itself also to take advantage of the president's one factory one district philosophy?
  Hmm.. we need vice chancellors and lecturers with corporate and industrial backgrounds to be able to effectively help our graduates think outside the box .

  We don't just need phd's but people who have corporate experience together with phd is excellent.
  Mere phd's will also produce mere phd's and it becomes cyclical.

  Shame, how much does All Nations University receive as subvention from government to launch a satellite into space. A private university without a hundredth of the resources of KNUST has proven that our professors don't think. Nana please revise your notes. It is not about subventions.

  ONCE AGAIN PRIVATE ENTERPRISE HAS SHOWN THE WAY. IF OUR PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES ARE PRIVATIZED, ECONOMIC FORCES WILL ELIMINATE/TRIM INEFFICIENT WASTE E.G. COURSES
  LIKE ARCHAEOLOGY, ANCIENT HISTORY, CLASSICAL CIVILIZATION & THE LIKE. SO MUCH CAN BE DONE TO MAKE OUR UNIVERSITIES SELF-SUSTAINING OR EVEN PROFITABLE. IF APOSTLE CAN ASSEMBLE CARS PROFITABLY WITHOUT GOVERNMENT SUBVENTION; WHY CAN'T KNUST MECHANICAL ENGINEERING CENTERS? SELL THESE STATE PARASITES!!!

  Asantehene, we know it's good for go vernment to give sufficient subvention to universities to function properly, however, in our current situation we find ourselves as parents n guardians the most appropriate appeal would have been calling for proper accountability by the university authorities rather than calling for more government support at the moment, these public universities collect huge sums of monies unaccounted for ranging from sale of forms to thousands of students that will nt be admitted, rent charged to abt four to five students in a cubicle n each paying up to gh1000, school fees n other changes, during this recent graduation each student is paying up to gh280, for a gown used for only few hours for others to continue using n paying same, where do all this money go? These days corruption start from our public universities where naturally patriotism would have been inculcated into our students n eventually passed on to the larger society, professors of our universities r now much concern abt worldly wealth to the neglect of prestige, the clergy n the academia r the steer of society n r suppose to keep society in check, the politician is a small boy of the professor n must be called to order if he is seen going astray but if the professor now joins him in corruption where do we go? Ghanaians.
