Economic pathways.
January 13, 2009
“These are the days when men of all social disciplines and all political faiths seek the comfortable and the accepted; when the man of controversy is looked upon as a disturbing influence; when originality is taken to be a mark of instability.” John Kenneth Galbraith - (1908-) Canadian-born economist, Harvard professor. Source: The Affluent Society, 1976.
Let us think differently and we will have solutions.
For example we can employ thousands of youths in the writing industry if finance can be made available for publishing houses to publish the works of youths. In this way, we will encourage the youths to be reading and researching which will empower our country and in so doing we will be employing the youth at the same time.Employ a national reading policy and bill all civil servants and workers two books every month for their home and what do we have a whole industry employing the thousands we need to employ.
If you want to doubt me, count the number of people self employed in the music industry-gospel, hip-life, etc. Think about Kofi Adu,Grace Omaboe, etc.
Thanks and have a lovely day

I think the government of Ghana did well by sending students abroad on scholarships.But now there is a very big problem that these students are facing in their lives,this is about their montly allowances to which they are entitled .Imagine living in a foreign land, having to pay rent,bills, transportation as well as buying food and there has been no form of provision for the past six months. Is this how students of Ghana are supposed to be treated?
As this governments claims to have better plans for education, it should not forget those of us studying abroad.
