Why Degrees no longer guarantee jobs— JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede

The registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Ishaq Oloyede, has advised tertiary institution students to acquire skills in addition to their degrees.

The JAMB boss while speaking at the convocation ceremony of the Kwara State University on Thursday, December 14, said:

“New opportunities will emerge in the high-tech sector, and many skills that were not otherwise taught in conventional schools would be needed.

“Degrees would no longer be the sole guarantee of jobs, but demonstrable skills would. In this regard, there won’t be a meaningful difference between the literates and the illiterates without the cutting-edge skills that are associated with the triad – learning, unlearning, and relearning.

“Those who can learn, unlearn, and relearn are the successful ones, and those without the mindset that accommodates the triad are bound to perpetually lament”, he said.
