This, he said, pushed him to start exploring other alternatives, adding that he took up a six-month course in machine operations.

"I came here to play football, but things did not go as planned and so, I decided to look for a job. I went to school for six months to become a machine operator. After that, I did an internship for a year before I got a contract. Today, I'm a boss, a CEO, because I manage a lot of people, they follow my instructions and cannot go near the machine without my permission," he said.

The young man made these remarks while having a conversation with Paul Tabiri on the importance of handicraft, comparing it to formal education.

The duo said in Italy more emphasis is placed on practical knowledge than textbook or theory, urging a paradigm shift in Ghana's education system.

Below is the video of the Ghanaian man and Paul Tabiri having a conversation over at a tea shop.
