S1E2: An investment in knowledge pays the best interest - Part 1

Show notes

Most of us want to learn, not be educated.

Education is a powerful change agent; it impacts our health and livelihoods, contributes to social stability, and drives long-term economic growth. It is essential for young people as it provides them with tools and critical skills to gain employment and improve their lives. Any job in the world demands a holistic set of skills and competencies from the person supposed to get the job done.

Over the years, concerns have been about the inadequate preparation of youth for the workplace. Employers attribute this inadequacy to a lack of soft skills among youth - despite having academic qualifications and technical training. The employment prospects for rural young people in selected areas can increase if they have access to good quality and demand-oriented education.

Today we will talk to the Principal of Bukura College: Richard Wekesa.
