Universities must stop selling degrees and start selling purpose

One of Ghana's greatest paradoxes is that we have thousands of graduates every year while employers continue to complain about skills shortages. At the same time, we import skilled labour for sectors where our own universities have been producing graduates for decades. Something is clearly wrong. The problem is not simply the number of graduates. It is how we guide students into courses, how we structure those courses, and how we connect them to the country's economic needs.
