Joseph Asare, a professional teacher trained in Ghana and United Kingdom, has called on the Ghanaian government to prioritise skills transfer in its quest to make graduates employable.
Mr. Asare, who is the assistant headmaster of Joy Standard College in Kumasi, pointed out that from his exposures to both educational environments, Ghana's major limitation is the overemphasis on theory at the expense of critical problem-solving skills at all levels in our educational system.
He has, therefore, implored the Education Ministry and Service to make sure skills transfer take centre stage in the on-going curricula and teacher reforms to meet the 21st century educational standards and attain the Sustainable Development Goal(SDG) 4: Quality Education by 2030.
On teacher motivation, Mr. Asare intimated that his major source of motivation is the positive feedback he gets from his students and not the salary, though very indispensable.
He also recollected his student days in Ofinso Training College(now Ofinso College of Education) with high sense of inspiration.
Mr. Asare spoke to his junior training college colleague, editor Osei Kuffour, as part of a series of educational advocacy interviews to whip up stakeholder interests in Ghana's educational transformation.
