More focus will be placed on the expansion of the economy to create gainful employment for the citizens, especially the youth.
President Akufo-Addo  says more focus would be placed on the linkage between industry and academia to ensure the curricula is skewed towards training the desired man power for national development.Â
Unemployment has been a major issue bedeviling the youth in Ghana for the past years. Most university graduates after school get no jobs, resulting in the formation of unemployed graduate association in the country.
Some industry players have also attributed the problem to the disjoint between industry and academia as the graduate do not have the requisite skills needed by the industries in the country rendering them unemployed.
