Barbers in Kumasi have asked the government to make barbering a priority profession. They suggest creating training schools to teach young people job skills.
This initiative, they say, could help tackle the growing problem of unemployment among the youth.
The barbers feel that their profession has not received enough attention in the country.
They believe barbering has significant potential to generate employment opportunities.
It could also help young people become financially independent.
The call comes amid concerns about the rising number of unemployed young people.
Establishing such schools would equip individuals with technical skills relevant to the trade.
This could lead to more job creation and economic empowerment.
