10:53pm, 1 Jun - +263 77 ▩▩▩ ▩▩▩▩: FROM BEING JOB SEEKERS TO BEING JOB CREATORS: Employement is one of the indicators of economic well-being. Countries that have high employment rates farewell economical.
People as such have formal ways of earning a living that securitised by the national labor statutes. Employed people come to be because employment is created. Most positively decisive governments have often fought vehemently to open way for job creation.
The governments have made various tools to achieve this, particularly attuning education systems to be largely techno-oriented. Moreover, such governments have managed to maintain a tradeoff between education system produce and the accommodativeness in the production sectors. Therefore, it would be rare to find graduates idling because of lack of employment.
Mostly in countries like Zimbabwe, graduates from polytechnics, colleges and universities are found wondering about joblessly. Then, one asks why? I think, such is to do more with the curricula in the education system.
The system is such that people are largely oriented to be job seekers than being job creators. As a result, the number of people who create job versus job seekers does not tally.
Moreover, the provisions from various subjects taught in most schools, I would say are malcontent.
In most subjects, theory is given more precedent than the practical element. As such, we have people who speak proficiently of things that they would not practicalise.
This explains why we have ballooning political activism than we would have economical activism. I buy the idea that politics is intertwined with the economics but I strongly object to a situation when each is given more value than the other. Extreme political activism is a sign that politics is taken to be a means of living, again depicting lack of employment. Therefore, I would encourage the ministries of Education to re-orient their curricula such that more practicality is infested into subjects and tertiary programs. More effort should be directed at promoting entrepreneurial development.
Technical courses should be promoted even at primary level in order to equip pupils with skills at a tender age. Life orientation should be taught in order to give an insight to the people on the importance of working for themselves and the country at large.
The government should come up with programs that support all the efforts directed at employment creation. The development infrastructure should be built as a way to attract domestic investment. And sectoral planning should be free of contradictions.
