Would a Masters in Business and Management considered a skills shortage in Ghana?
Answer:
Even though Ghana is considered by most nations to be the most stable and peaceful country in Africa, it has a huge economic problem. Ghana inherited about 200 million British pounds from the British in 1957. Between 1957 and 1966 Ghana adopted the socialist approach to development. State farms were established to produce food. Health facilities, elementary and sec ondary schools, and universities were established and managed by the state to ensure equal opportunities for all citizens. But unfortunately, most of these state-owned institutions are either now dysfunctional or not good enough to serve the purposes for which they were established. The educational sector is one of the most affected by attendant economic consequences.
The literacy rate is relatively low. As defined by the government, literacy is anyone over the age of 15 years who can read and write. This translates to 74 percent for the entire population, with a gender rate of 82.7 percent for males and 67.1 percent for females.1 Seventy-six percent of all elementary-aged students attend school, while 31 percent attend secondary schools. University registrations have averaged about 9,600 students per year since the 1990s
