Beautifully certificated, but poor – Sam Jonah blasts Africa’s education system
Business leader and Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, Sam Jonah, has critiqued Africa’s education system, warning that the continent is producing graduates with certificates but without the practical skills needed to transform economies.
Speaking at the installation of Professor Denis Worlanyo Aheto as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast on Saturday, August 1, Jonah said universities must urgently redefine what higher education means in an era where artificial intelligence can outperform humans in many knowledge-based tasks.” He proposed that the University of Cape Coast become the first university in Africa to establish a degree-awarding faculty dedicated to vocational education, where students graduate only after demonstrating real-world competence.
