UCC to host International Conference for Education Researchers in September

18 Feb, 2023 By DIS

The University of Cape Coast will be hosting the second edition of International Conference on Education Research for Development in Africa (ICEDA) from September, 2023.

ICERDA seeks to create a unique space for new and established education researchers to meet regularly to disseminate research that addresses and develops research that inspires policy makers to take action to improve the quality of education for all Africans, especially the disadvantaged and marginalised.

In that regard, a two-member delegation from the Open University, United Kingdom, has called on the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Rosemond Boohene, to brief her about preparations for the conference.

Research partnership

The head of the delegation, Prof. Kwame Acheampong, explained that the conference was a research partnership between UCC and Centre for the Study of Global Development at The Open University, UK.

He added that “ICERDA responds to the need for an independent forum where African voices, and scholars who work with African colleagues, can share evidence-based insights into educating the next generation of young Africans”.

Prof. Acheampong -who was accompanied by Claire Hedges, from Open University, UK - noted that the delegation had engaged the local planning committee and was satisfied with preparations so far.

Prof. Acheampong commended the team from UCC for mobilising the needed resources to ensure a successful conference.

Contemporary isssues

On her part,Prof. Boohene was grateful to Open University, UK for partnering UCC to organise the conference.

She was confident that the conference would serve as a platform to enhance research and exchange of ideas among participants to address contemporary issues bedeviling the education sector in African countries.

The Pro Vice-Chancellor noted that UCC would put in the necessary measures in place to ensure that the conference was successful.

Present at the meeting were Prof. Rosemary Seiwah Bosu of the Institute for Educational Planning and Administration (IEPA), UNESCO Category II; College Registrar, College of Education Studies, Mr. Atta Yeboah-Sarpong; and Assistant Registrar, Directorate of Human Resource, Jacinta Martina Annan.

CEGRAD commemorates International Day of Women and Girls in Science

16 Feb, 2023 By DIS

The Centre for Gender Research, Advocacy and Documentation (CEGRAD) of University of Cape Coast has joined the rest of the world to celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science with students of the Academy of Christ the King Senior High School, Cape Coast.

 

The United Nations General Assembly in 2015 declared 11th February each year as International Day of Women and Girls in Science to promote empowerment and gender equality. The observance pays particular attention to the promotion of full and equal access and participation of women in Science, Technology and Mathematics fields.

 

Globally, the Day was commemorated on the theme, "Bring everyone forward for sustainable and equitable development." 

 

A Senior Lecturer at the Department of Biomedical Sciences of University of Cape Coast, Dr. Mrs. Ama Kyerewaa Thomford, advised girls in basic school to study Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related courses at the higher levels of education.

She further entreated women and young girls to be focused and ignore stereotypes of women in STEM and therefore urged young girls to master the skills of STEM. She said with time, people would accept the brand of women and the level of capacity in the field of their professional work. 

 

Dr. Thomford indicated that industries in the country were looking for people with skills in the area of science and technology.

 

The Co-ordinator, Advocacy and Outreach at CEGRAD-UCC, Dr. Theresa Patrine Ennin, advised young girls to not give up due to the difficulties they face in life. 

 

Instead, she said young girls should visualise their dreams and be willing to put in time, energy and sacrifices to realise their goals.

Dr. Ennin counseled young girls to desist from premarital sex in order not to jeopardise their future. She urged the girls to take their studies seriously to achieve their future aspirations and effectively contribute their quota to national development.

 

The Director of CEGRAD-UCC, Dr. Georgina Yaa Oduro, in her address, noted that science plays an important role for sustainable development  with women in science playing a more crucial role in ensuring that the world does not only survive but thrives.

 

She explained to the students the mandate of CEGRAD-UCC. 

 

Miss Lovia Boahemaa, a 16-year old student of the Academy of Christ the King Senior High School, told journalists that she was going to heed to the advice from the facilitators to enable her positively impact society.

CoHAS workshop ongoing

CoHAS Lecturers attend workshop on Grant and Proposal Writing

16 Feb, 2023 By DIS

A section of senior members (academic) of the College of Health and Allied Sciences (CoHAS), University of Cape Coast (UCC) are participating in a workshop on Grant and Proposal Writing at the Coconut Grove Hotel in Cape Coast.

 

The workshop, which will span a five-day period, is being organised by the Biomedical and Clinical Research Centre of CoHAS-UCC in collaboration with African Centre of Excellence for Population, Health and Policy, as well as Bayero University, Kano in Nigeria.

 

The mandate of the Centre is to promote research and grantsmanship within CoHAS in particular and the University of Cape Coast in general. 

 

Topics to be treated by the participants during the five-day workshop include; ‘Understanding the funder and knowing the funder requirements’, ‘An overview of the grant scoring process’ and ‘Overview of study designs for qualitative studies’. Others are ‘Data management’, ‘Defining your output/outcome/impact variables’, ‘Overview of mixed-method research’ and ‘Budgeting’ amongst others.

 

Addressing the participants during the opening ceremony, the Director of the Biomedical and Clinical Research Centre, Prof. Samuel Kyei, observed that the workshop would improve grant proposal writing skills, and foster more collaborations among lecturers within the University and with external partners. 

 

"While in our jurisdiction the mantra is “publish or perish", elsewhere it is to get a grant or perish. This new demand to get grant or perish is catching up with us quickly and as an institution, we need to up our game before it is too late" he said.

Against this backdrop, Prof. Kyei indicated that CoHAS was making untiring efforts to use workshops to refresh and build capacity of academic staff for grant proposal writing to prepare faculty for the challenge of research and project financing. 

 

The Director was of the hope that UCC-industry relationship would be enhanced as the research output from "our University could be translated into finished products and or inform policy for the benefit of society." 

 

The Provost of CoHAS, Prof. Martins Ekor, in his remark, entreated participants to take the workshop seriously and noted that research by academics in the College would put UCC on a giant pedestal. 

 

He said UCC had made remarkable strides in research, stressing that participants should be able to get grants to explore new ideas and expertise in research after the workshop. 

 

Facilitators for the workshop are from the Directorate of Research, Innovation and Consultancy (DRIC) - UCC, University of Ghana, and Bayero University.

 

There will also be networking and brainstorming sessions, where issues regarding grant and proposal writing will be discussed.

 

Participants will be presented with certificates for the five-day encounter.

He noted that CoBES provided students with a strong community orientation to increase their awareness of the role of social, cultural and environmental factors in health and the relationship between health and development.

 

Dr. Ocansey noted that the presentation of reports was to build the confidence and public speaking skills of students which according to him was essential in their training. He commended their enthusiasm and active participation in CoBES activities and also urged them to give off their best in the presentations. 

 

During the presentation session, the students - who were in groups of eight- reported on their activities which included communal labour, health screening, among others in their respective communities.
