Prof. John Gatsi Urges Digital Literacy and Economic Reform to Secure Ghana’s Future

Economist and Dean of the University of Cape Coast Business School, Prof. John Gatsi, has called for compulsory digital literacy training and equitable access to technology to drive Ghana’s education system from the basic level to higher institutions.

Speaking at the 72nd Anniversary of Keta Secondary Technical School, he stressed that bridging the digital divide is critical to ensuring the country’s youth remain competitive in an increasingly digital global economy.

Beyond education, Prof. Gatsi advocated for more productive economic management that directly impacts young Ghanaians, particularly those seeking greater involvement in governance.

He warned of a “generational hustle”—a growing phenomenon where young people juggle multiple economic activities with little financial security, leaving many unable to sustain families or build long-term wealth. He noted that frustration with limited opportunities has driven risk-tolerant youth to migrate in search of better prospects, particularly to Europe and Asia.

Policy Failures and the Need for Structural Reform

Referring to the World Bank’s 2024 report on Ghana’s public finances, Prof. Gatsi underscored the failure of social assistance programs to deliver meaningful benefits due to partial implementation of fiscal measures.

He criticised Ghana’s economic trajectory, where debt servicing has taken precedence over infrastructure investment, hampering long-term growth prospects.

“We must rethink our framework for infrastructure financing to prioritise inclusive growth, combat corruption, and restore confidence in the younger generation,” he said.

He further urged policymakers to integrate youth participation in policy formulation, execution, and accountability, arguing that the next generation demands more than just representation—they seek active involvement in shaping national development.

Restoring Confidence in Ghana’s Economic Future

Prof. Gatsi’s remarks highlight the urgency of redefining Ghana’s economic and educational strategies to create an environment where young people can thrive.

His call for structural reform, digital inclusivity, and youth engagement in governance underscores the broader challenge of ensuring sustainable economic growth in the face of shifting global dynamics.
