The Executive Director of Africa Education Watch Kofi Asare shared a flyer of the launch on his Facebook page and said the curriculum was market-led.
His post sparked mixed reactions to the novel curriculum, with some of his followers lauding the Pentecost University for studying the job market and attempting to train Ghanaians to fill in the gap, while others ask questions to satisfy their curiosity about the nature and details of the course and whether they will get employment after completion.
