The Chief Executive of Kama Industries, Michael Agyekum-Addo is advocating introduction of entrepreneurial studies at all levels of education in Ghana.He said modern business revolution requires students to be innovative and less dependent on government for employment.It is for this reason that the KAMA Education Project was established. In the last two years, over 65,000 teachers and 350,000 students in six regions of Ghana have received entrepreneurial lectures under the project.Dr. Agyekum-Addo under whose directorship the projects run wants entrepreneurship introduced as a compulsory subject in the school curricula.“The youth of today do not have entrepreneurial skills because they go to school with intention of securing white collar jobs… Then who has to create entrepreneurial skills among them, it is the teacher. If it becomes a compulsory subject, then my soul will rest,” he said.
As a first step, he is recommending the use of successful and experience entrepreneurs to teach the subject but students would not be examined on it.Dr. Agyekum-Addo therefore reiterated the need for government and stakeholders to explore entrepreneurship opportunities to address the country’s unemployment challenges.“Unlike the 20th century which came with industrialization, science and technology, this era is calling for information and entrepreneurship. No government, including Ghana can create businesses for people to go in and work. Now the time has come where people should do their own work; and that is using their right imaginative brain to create businesses,” Dr. Agyekum-Addo said.
