“Allow Students On Govt Scholarships Abroad to Find Work There & Sign A Bond to Repatriate Certain Amounts for A Period”-Bishop Agyinasare

As part of efforts to help resolve the unemployment canker in the country, Bishop Charles Agyinasare has proposed an initiative he believes could help the country resolve the challenge and also generate revenue from it.

Bishop Agyinasare at his 31st December watch night service revealed that in his recent trips to other nations, he met Ghanaian students who were given scholarships to study outside the country but are scared to return due to unemployment in Ghana.

These students he said are afraid of returning to Ghana and joining the no-job situation.
For this reason, he is proposing that instead of GETFund and the other bodies offering scholarships to our students to study abroad and expect them to return, they should rather give official permission for these students to seek jobs in the country where they studied after graduation.

He said the beneficiaries of these scholarships and their employers could generate some revenue for the country.

He also referenced comments recently made by the Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta advising young persons to go into entrepreneurship because the public sector was full to support his argument.
