The Dean of University of Cape Coast (UCC) Business School, Professor John Gatsi says flexible curricula for business schools are needed to produce fit to work graduates in Ghana and across the developing countries.
According to him, business schools globally have been thinking about the best curriculum in response to so many lessons learned from the adaptations to the fight against the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
Prof Gatsi made the call when he spoke on round table discussion organised by the Globsyn Business School in India on how business schools are changing their curriculum to adapt to the needs of businesses during this Covid-19 era.
He explained that curriculum has not changed that much but the mode of delivering has significantly changed by deploying technology.
Prof Gatsi further emphasized the two dominant modes of delivery in Ghana due to Covid-19. The first mode is full virtual (online) with opportunity to upload materials and videos for further engagements with students.
The second is hybrid or blended mode in which a percentage is dedicated to online and face-to-face with smaller classes. Prof Gatsi noted that the blended mode helps to observe Covid-19 protocols and allow business.
