Kwamina Asomaning, has called on leaders in African countries to prioritize science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/education\/\">education<\/a>&nbsp;and vocational training if the continent wants to prepare its youth for the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at the 2021&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/business\/\">Business<\/a>&nbsp;Roundtable organized by Ishmael Yamson &amp; Associates, Mr Asomaning said focusing on STEM&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/education\/\">education<\/a>&nbsp;will serve as a catalyst for producing young people with high technical capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe first step on this remedial journey is the provision of good quality and relevant&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/education\/\">education<\/a>&nbsp;that does not only respond to the exigencies of today\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/world\/\">world<\/a>&nbsp;but also prepares the minds of young Africans for the future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is from this perspective that there is, within the situation of this discussion, a strong push to rebalance our educational structure towards STEM subjects. Further investment in STEM&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/education\/\">education<\/a>&nbsp;will unlock the abilities of African countries to produce youth with strong technical and analytical capabilities that can develop home-grown technologies to address uniquely African challenges,\u201d Mr. Asomaning added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kwamina Asomaning noted that the need for adequately prepared young people has become even more critical as African countries need to respond to the needs of industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn a July 2013 working paper on Tertiary&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/education\/\">Education<\/a>&nbsp;and Industrial Development in Ghana authored by researchers working jointly with the ISSER and the International Growth Centre, they found that of the firms surveyed, 84% cited analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills as the important skills expected from University graduates. Yet, 81% of respondents indicated the existence of gap between the skills supplied by tertiary institutions and their requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile acknowledging that a university&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/education\/\">education<\/a>, no matter the course, equips us with critical thinking skills, we must understand that these skills are not an end in themselves.&nbsp; Invariably, the gap in skills and the loss of flexibility that arises from earlier choices by students to avoid some foundational courses in school compounds the school-to-work transition challenges,\u201d Mr. Asomaning added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also encouraged African countries to place more value on importance of vocational training as a viable route to career success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, \u201cBeyond developing a purposeful approach towards STEM&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/education\/\">education<\/a>, African countries must also place greater emphasis on higher vocational learning and disabuse the minds of the youth that the university title and university route are an assured path to achieving career success. Experts point to a correlation between youth having experienced vocational training and youth employment. This explains why the debate on the merits of converting our polytechnics into technical universities continues with great intensity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further added: \u201cThe role and importance of Technical and Vocational&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/education\/\">Education<\/a>&nbsp;and Training (TVET) as a means of equipping our youth with technical skills isn\u2019t new to us. Until the conversion of eight out of the ten polytechnics into technical universities, Ghana had one polytechnic in each of the ten erstwhile regions, named after the regional capitals, such as the Accra Polytechnic in Accra, and the Ho Polytechnic in Ho. However, the number of technical universities or polytechnics has stayed flat at ten for the last two decades whereas the number of universities increased from just 3 in 1990 to 70 in 2014, with many of these focusing on the humanities and liberal arts programs.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In getting the youth ready to take on the reins of industry and the corporate&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/world\/\">world<\/a>, Kwamina Asomaning underscored the need for the private sector to embrace the idea of apprenticeship as part of their contribution to society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAside providing avenues for students to complete their national service engagements, the private sector must embrace apprenticeships for young people as its non-monetary contribution to society. These placements could be done alongside the existing monetary contributions that firms extend as part of their corporate social responsibility activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGovernment policy must be geared towards establishing a lot more technical schools that train JHS and SHS school leavers and graduates with relevant technical skills that are sought after by industry and society. I would like to commend the Commission for Technical and Vocational&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/education\/\">Education<\/a>&nbsp;for their annual Skills competition.&nbsp; It is only through such deliberate acts that the youth will be equipped with skills that match the requirements of industry, and provide a pathway to industry for students not interested in pursuing a university&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/education\/\">education<\/a>,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Kwamina Asomaning, harnessing the innovative skills of Africa\u2019s youth is another critical element for the development of the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that regard, he called for the establishment of more incubators, accelerators and labs to foster innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He cited the Stanbic&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/business\/\">Business<\/a>&nbsp;Incubator as one such initiatives to address this need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur talented youth need support to experiment, brainstorm and co-create as they embark on their entrepreneurial ventures. Solving practical problems requires funding, facilities, mentorship, and research centers to provide subject matter expertise on trends. In August 2019, we at Stanbic Bank Ghana launched one of our most significant Corporate Social Initiatives \u2013 the SB Incubator \u2013 to provide&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/business\/\">business<\/a>&nbsp;advisory, coaching and mentorship, and market access facilitation and networking opportunities to aspiring entrepreneurs and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/startups\/\">startups<\/a>&nbsp;in Ghana,\u201d Mr. Asomaning said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ishmael Yamson and Associates&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/business\/\">Business<\/a>&nbsp;Roundtable is an annual event that brings together&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/business\/\">business<\/a>&nbsp;leaders to deliberate on critical issues of national, regional and global development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/business\/\">Business<\/a>&nbsp;Roundtable was held under the theme \u2018Youth Driven and Youth Centered Development: Africa\u2019s Future\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a8p5q6x6.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Stanbi-CE-Asomaning-Roundtable1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-190556\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other speakers for this year\u2019s event included Lecturer and Managing Director of AfESC Dr. Abena Asomaning-Antwi, CEO of Deloitte East Africa Joe Eshun, Charlotte Osei of the United Nations International Electoral Commission, former Executive Secretary of NABPTEX Sheila Naah Boamah and Managing Director of Absa Ghana Abena Osei-Poku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: 3<a href=\"https:\/\/3news.com\/category\/news\/\">news<\/a>.com|Ghana<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chief Executive of Stanbic Bank Ghana.
