Continuing on the "education has no choice but to change" meme. Ally Jamah writes in Standard Media:
“It is not uncommon to see our institutions say in their mission statements that they are developing job creators and not job seekers, but if you look at how the curriculum is structured, you realise they won’t actually deliver on that,” Calestous Juma says.More here
Juma argues it may be necessary to create new “species of universities in Kenya with an entrepreneurial DNA” to achieve that goal, saying transforming the current institutions may not be easy.
“Most of our universities are still focused on training workers for the civil service or as private sector employees. They have done a good job on that, but changing their DNA to perform new roles will take a long time,” he tells Education.
He explains that entrepreneurial universities can help students create their own businesses while still in campus and trained on how to develop and execute their business plans.
