In an effort to explain its implications for the Ghanaian people, the Department of Data Science and Economic Policy of the School of Economics, UCC, has held a roundtable discussion on the 2026 Budget statement at the School of Graduate Studies auditorium.

The presentation of the 2026 Budget Statement to Parliament on Thursday, November 13, 2025, by the Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has so far attracted divergent reactions.

The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Education (FOHSSE) has started a Public Lecture series to encourage intellectual discourse by  bringing together experts from diverse academic backgrounds to discuss topics in areas relevant to emerging trends in  education.

The lecture series, which will be held quarterly, also aims to build the capacity of faculty members in interdisciplinary areas through brainstorming sessions with experts in academia to espouse the critical role of  education in the Ghana’s development aspirations.

The Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE) of the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly (CCMA), Mr. George Justice Arthur, has reiterated his commitment to tap into the wealth of knowledge and experience of academia to transform the Metropolis.

He is, therefore, calling on faculty members of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) to support him in accelerating the development of the area.
