At least half of graduates produced by East African universities lack employability skills, technical mastery and basic work-related capabilities, a new survey shows.
According to the Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA), a body created to regulate higher education in the region, the situation simply confirms the concerns among employers that most graduates are not fully prepared for the job market. The situation, the report which polled employers says, denies all the five countries making up the region the skills needed to drive growth.
