Sam Jonah delivers sweeping critique of Africa's universities in AI era, calls for vocational faculty at UCC
Sir Sam Jonah has called for Africa's first degree-awarding vocational faculty to be established at the University of Cape Coast, arguing that universities producing graduates who are 'beautifully certificated but poor' are planning their own funerals if they depend on government funding. Jonah warned that AI is rendering knowledge-only education obsolete and challenged Ghanaian universities to follow MIT, Harvard and Stanford in reinventing their models for the current technological era.
