The Chancellor of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), Neenyi Ghartey VII, has entreated the government to strengthen youth-focused policies that promote education, vocational training and entrepreneurship to empower the next generation and enhance their contribution to the economy.
He said this would help avert the current economic challenges and the spectre of unemployment sweeping through West Africa. He called on the government to ensure that its policy facilitates collaboration between educational institutions and industries to align curricula with market demands.
The UEW Chancellor was welcoming graduands at the Second Session of the 27th Congregation held at the Jophus Anamuah-Mensah Conference Centre, North Campus, Winneba, on Friday, 25th and Saturday, 26th August, 2023.
The Chancellor of UEW implored the government to take a closer look at Ghana’s food production set-up and ensure that infrastructural development reflects on agriculture by producing sustainable storage and preservation systems across specific food production areas.
Neenyi Ghartey VII beseeched graduands to seek out training, certificates and workshops that enhance their skills and keep them adaptable in the face of changing job landscapes.
