He said, a lot of such graduates were roaming the streets without jobs but could be useful in the classroom to assist in raising the falling standards of education in the country.
Mr. Acheampong made the appeal in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) about the graduate unemployment in the country on Thursday at Bechem
He said it was very disheartening that the potentials of those graduates were not being utilized after their parents had spent huge sums of money on them in the universities.
Mr. Acheampong observed that “most district education officials were more interested in the appointments of pupil teachers rather than graduates since over GHC400.00 are paid as baits for their appointments”.
He suggested that, the Ministry of Education should register all graduates who wished to go into teaching in the districts and offer them teaching appointments as a matter of urgency to curb the graduate unemployment.
He noted that a recent survey in some schools at Bechem and beyond showed that the output of work of some of the pupil teachers “ are nothing to write home about” and appealed to the MoE to help solve the problem, which had become a canker in the country.
