Prof. Busari Shaamsuddeen Akande, an educator, has established that the high expense of higher education in Ghana and Togo is justified by the countries’ secure environments, excellent quality of life, and high rates of industrialization.
In an interview with Sarewa hausa on Sunday in Calabar, Akande, Secretary of Council of the American Chartered Institute of Management and Leadership in the State of Kentucky, USA, shared his thoughts.
Graduates from these smaller, neighboring countries have the skills necessary to support vital sectors.
There is no striking problem in Togo or the Republic of Benin. There is a reliable power grid, a secure community, harmonious relationships, and individualized academic focus.
Akande argued that a country’s size plays no role in its ability to produce educated citizens.
He claims that smaller nations have an advantage because they can more rapidly recover, develop, and implement novel reforms.
He argued that universities should focus on specific fields so that their graduates would be highly qualified in their chosen careers.
Not at the University of Agriculture and School of Legal Studies, where they crank out journalists and lawyers.
“There is a university of management in Benin Republic that focuses solely on management sciences.”
Akande suggested strategies for luring private funding into the country’s educational system, which would reduce institutions’ reliance on public funding.
When asked what would pique investors’ interest, he listed improving education quality, increasing access to higher education through creative funding structures, and prioritizing early childhood education and literacy.
“By promoting autonomy,” he stated, “the country can create awareness of culture, engage good teachers/instructors, and make the educational sector accountable.”
