The strong desire for white-color jobs has rendered most Youths jobless – Dormaa Nsuasehene
Bafour Dei Kusi Agyei II, the Nsuasehene of the Dormaa Traditional Council, has implored parents to cultivate in their children a keen interest in agricultural studies and to consider farming as a viable profession.
In his keynote address during the Catholic Education Week Celebration at the Dormaa St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church, Bafour Dei Kusi Agyei II voiced his concern over the students’ attire, which reflected aspirations towards careers in nursing and other white-collar professions, with not a single student dressed as a farmer. He earnestly appealed to parents to advise their wards on the significance and advantages of choosing farming as a career path.
He highlighted the prevalent inclination towards white-collar jobs among the youth, which has resulted in widespread unemployment, underscoring the necessity for students to prioritize farming as a profession. Farming, he noted, harbors immense potential and offers abundant employment opportunities.
Rev. Father Mathew Yeboah, the parish priest of St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church, urged the children to show respect and obedience to their teachers, who have been guiding them in various ways. He encouraged them to take their studies seriously to become exemplary leaders in the future, emphasizing that in all their endeavors, they should lead a virtuous life that will bring glory and honor to themselves and their parents.
Nana Attah Yeboah Brobbey, the Deputy Director in Charge of Finance and Administration at the Dormaa Central Education Directorate, offered his counsel to the teachers, urging them to be exemplary shepherds. He emphasized the importance of leading a respectable lifestyle, as they serve as role models for both their students and the wider community. He underscored the adage, “once a teacher, always a teacher,” and implored them to abstain from behaviors that do not align with the cultural practices and values inherent in Ghanaian society.
