Botho University hosts industry talk shop

Vice chancellor Sheela Raja Ram said in her welcome remarks that there is a chain of blame as the industry complains that graduates are not job-ready and universities say students that come for first-year are highly under-prepared.

 “We really need to focus on the solution to this huge issue. It has a really big impact on how our economy in Africa can grow into the future. We are like the three blind men trying to figure out what the elephant looks like; we have our own perceptions and vested interest therefore there is no point where we have to sit and come to a common understanding,” Raja Ram noted.
