Insurance marketer Edgar Wiredu has disagreed with President Nana Akufo-Addo’s position that laboratories and workshops of Technical High Schools are the answer to unemployment in the country. In his view, the president is championing “ancient ideas” instead of thinking of technology which is ruling the world now. “It is high time we think of technology not laboratories and workshops for students in that level, the president has misfired.”
President Akufo-Addo said his government’s flagship policy, Free SHS, will not be turned into a process of churning out young people that will not be equipped with skills to cope with the modern world, stressing that that a high school educated child without any skills would be more frustrated than a child that ended her education at the Junior High School level. It is against this that the President stated that, it is in the laboratories and workshops that students in the second cycle level will get the opportunity to expand their imagination, and develop the skills that would equip them for the job market. But contributing on Onua FM, Edgar Wiredu said the idea of workshops and laboratories belong to the past.
Emphasis, he said, should rather be placed on making sure that students coming out of SHS are equipped with modern day trend of technologies, adding that “nations are using technology to build the future, we are here talking about workshops”. Pointing to some examples to buttress his point, Edgar Wiredu explained that, elsewhere in the world, countries are using E-Learning to solve forest depletion, whiles some are also using technology to develop and bring change in the lives of their people. He wondered why the president will not lead Ghana to champion same technological reforms rather than workshops.

Edgar Wiredu posited that the President’s advisors are doing a great disservice to him and ask that they should be proactive in their thinking which will go a long way to help the country move forward, else Ghana will continue to lag behind in terms of technology. “We are now in the era that is ruled by technology and we must also advance in that order. Our ‘big men’ travel, I think it is time we replicate what we see being done elsewhere or we can’t develop like them.”

Does this man know what he is really talking about? Does he understand lab education? Has he heard of a Computer lad before? Someone should tell him that Technology is developed also in the lab. What does he understand by E-learning? I guess he is talking just to be heard.
if you have nothing sensible to contribute just STFU
hypocrisy and dishonesty....when did you realize E-learning is the solution? After eight years in power what did you do about it?
Too much weed is causing him to think and talk like this. dead brain

Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah established Kwame Nkrumah University of Technology because of his industrialization drive so what technology is he talking about? Most of KNUST pioneers were from our Technical institutes I think the guy is confused due to his beard. He needs to shave to get it.
