The Daily Graphic urges the country's universities to rethink the quality of education they offer the youth in order to make a transition from just injecting the youth with knowledge to offering them skills. The paper describes as tragedy the fact that many of the youth who graduate from the universities are simple unemployable. It therefore calls on stakeholders in the sector to take action now to give hope to the graduates by developing their can do spirit and skills. 

The Today Newspaper adds its voice to calls for teachers and parents to partner themselves as part of measures to enhance education in the country. The paper believes unless there is a strong collaboration of parents and teachers, the quality of education in the country will continue to be poor. It says heavy reliance on government for education must be looked at if the country is to attain global standards. 

The Ghanaian Times is worried about heavy traffic on the Kasoa highway. The paper says plying the road to and from areas around Kasoa has not only become a nightmare but a loss of man hours for motorists.  It says small and heavy duty vehicles parking on the shoulders of the road worsen the traffic jam, creating confusion. The paper hopes the proposed interchange project scheduled to take off next month will ease traffic congestion in the area.
