    "content": "We need to produce skills. Currently, our universities are only producing degree papers that are not helping our young generation. We want skills that match the requirements of the industry so that upon graduating, they can access jobs at the industry. Our students are not getting jobs because they are irrelevant to the industries. We should focus on that. We should do research, technology and innovation that matches the needs of the industry. As we design our curriculum in the universities, we should do it with the industries so that they can advise universities on what is required so that students are trained for that purpose instead of doing mass production of courses that are very irrelevant to the job market. We need to have a databank for each university showing students per course who have graduated, those that have been absorbed into the job market and those that will never get jobs so that we can revisit our curriculum and see how we can help them and the country. Without that, it will be difficult to achieve Vision 2030."
