    Dr. Emmanuel Adu-Sarkodee, Group Chairman of CDH Financial Holdings, has called on the government to continue investing in technical and vocational education, ensuring that the education system aligns with future industry needs.

    Speaking at the opening of the 76th Annual New Year School and Conference at the University of Ghana, he emphasized the importance of STEM education in driving sustainable development.

    Dr. Adu-Sarkodee also noted that university programs should prioritize practical skills, innovation, and critical thinking to prepare the workforce for the future.

    The conference is themed “Attaining the Five Ps of Sustainable Development for Resilient Ghana: (People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, Partnership).”

    “Much emphasis should be placed on encouraging students to pursue groundbreaking projects, as much as on obtaining a first-class degree. Teaching basic skills such as building circuits or simple devices can build confidence and prepare students for the Industrial Revolution…” he stated. “Computers and robotics clubs should not be extra-curricular activities at the basic and secondary levels; they should be part of the curriculum itself.”

    Dr. Adu-Sarkodee, who is also President of the Ghana Employers Association (GEA), emphasized that for Ghana to achieve economic growth, it must move away from its reliance on extractive industries.

    He advocated for the adoption of “aggressive implementation strategies and coordinated policies” focused on transforming people and promoting inclusivity to drive rapid development.

    Dr. Adu-Sarkodee highlighted the deteriorating conditions of the Odaw River and Korle Lagoon in Accra, stressing the need for strict enforcement of environmental laws and a shift in attitudes towards the environment.

    He called for a united effort to safeguard the environment for future generations and underscored the importance of good character and patriotism, stating that without these values, national goals would remain unachieved.

    Dr. Adu-Sarkodee raised concerns about the low representation of women in governance and management roles in Ghana but praised the election of Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the first female Vice President, calling it an inspiration for women to pursue higher leadership positions.

    He expressed confidence in Ghana’s future, despite current challenges, and stressed the importance of collaboration and idea-sharing to drive sustainable development.

    The ANYSC serves as a platform to address urgent national issues, mobilize citizens for development, and acts as the University of Ghana’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiative.

    Key sub-themes for discussion by panelists include “Empowering the Next Generation: Harnessing Technology for Sustainable Development,” “Protecting the Natural and Built Environment for Sustainable Development,” and “Leveraging Financial Technologies for Prosperity and Addressing Regulatory Challenges.”
