"Ghana does not suffer from a shortage of educated people. It sometimes suffers from a shortage of ethical and responsible citizens and leaders," he said. Dr. Chambas stressed that academic qualifications alone cannot solve the country's governance and development challenges. "Academic excellence without moral responsibility ultimately impoverishes society," he stated, warning that knowledge separated from ethical principles could become dangerous. "Education must therefore seek not only to sharpen the intellect but also to shape the conscience," Dr. Chambas said.
