    "content": "I attended a graduation ceremony at one of the universities. When graduates from the School of Business were called upon to stand up, I realised they were almost two-thirds of all the graduating students at that ceremony. You then wonder, if everyone has a degree in business, where will they go? Relevant courses need to be taught in our universities. We must ensure that when our children transit through the 100 per cent transition principle, they do not get wasted. They need to have a chance to do courses that can enable them to create employment for themselves. We need to re-look at the courses we are offering at the tertiary level. If we say that everyone will be taking hospitality, tourism and such courses, are there job opportunities in those sectors? We need to evaluate the kind of courses our tertiary institutions are offering, so that we do not simply have our children transit from primary and secondary school to tertiary institutions without ensuring that they get the right skills to access jobs after college. We are simply wasting most of them. I know, for example, in our universities, the prime courses are medicine-related. We also have engineering, law and education. However, when you train a child in criminology, they will not get jobs. Currently, computer science skills are flooded all over."
