21 May, 2019 By louis Mensah

The Welfare Section of the Directorate of Human Resources has embarked on a three-day trip to visit some retired staff of the university.

The Outreach team which was led by the Senior Assistant Registrar, Welfare Section Mrs. Betty Addo Nkrumah, visited Kasoa, Accra, Buni in the Sampa Municipality in the Bono Region and Obuasi in the Adansi District of Ashanti Region.

Retired Staff the Team Visited             

The Seven retirees visited are Dr. Yao Djirakor, Prof. Naa Afaley Sackeyfio, Dr. G. M Adamu, Prof. Y. S. Boafo, Mr. John Gadzi, Mr. I. Y Boadi and Mr. Andrew K. Bour.

At Buni near Sampa, Mr. Andrew K. Bour who retired in 1983 together with his family and some friends within the neighborhood welcomed the outreach team at his residence, shedding tears and said the visit was a big surprise to him since he never thought of a day like this would come and described the visit to his humble abode as a “blessing”.

Prof. Naa Afaley Sackeyfio who retired in the 90s gladly welcomed the outreach team and advocated for the sustainability of the programme for more retirees to be reached.

A former Pro Vice-Chancellor and former Ghana’s Ambassador to Cote D’vor, Prof. Y. S. Boafo expressed his sincere gratitude to the University and its Management and also called for the sustainability of the initiative since to him “it’s refreshing and heartwarming”. He also advised other institutions to emulate such initiatives “to make sure that after one’s retirement there’re still concerns”.

Presentations

Mrs. Betty Addo Nkrumah presented gifts and cash to the retirees and thanked them for their selfless dedication to work which has brought the University this far and promised to attend to them anytime they call on the University.

Ghana National Association of the Deaf (GNAD) Signs MoU with UCC

15 May, 2019 By louis Mensah

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the University of Cape Coast and the Ghana Association of the Deaf (GNAD) to implement the “Sign Language Interpreters Project”.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Head, Department of Educational Psychology and Coordinator, of the Sign Language Interpreting Project, Dr. Irene Vanderpuye, said the signing of the MoU, was to formalise the introduction of “Sign Language Interpreters programme at the Certificate and Diploma levels by UCC.                                      

Content of MoU

Giving a brief description of the content of the MoU, a lecturer at the Department of Educational Psychology, Mr. Gideon Kwesi Obosu, indicated that “the main reason for this project is to establish a programme in Sign Language Interpreting to certify the already existing interpreters on the registry of GNAD who have no academic certificates.” This, he explained that GNAD as a body has been training Sign Interpreters but it had no authority to issue certificates to its students.

Mr. Obosu noted that GNAD, supported by the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), approached UCC for collaboration to begin the programme. This he explained would provide some guiding principles, training and activities to its trainees for certification. He stated, “everything has been successful so far; there have been several discussions and both parties have played their roles very well, just that we have not put documents into formal signing”.

UCC will Partner GNAD for the Project

Welcoming the team, the Dean, Faculty of Educational Foundations, Prof. Eric Nyarko-Sampson, congratulated GNAD for its unwavering commitment to partner UCC for the programme. He said, “I am happy that we have a great team including, Dr Vanderpuye to support this programme because they are specialist in Inclusive Education.”

Prof. Nyarko-Sampson pledged the support of UCC as far as the Sign Language Interpreters Project was concerned. “We hope this programme will help train teachers and students who will give up their best to use Sign Language Interpretation for effective communication,” He reiterated the University’s readiness to run the Sign Language Interpretation programme and called GNAD to support it.

GNAD is Happy to work with UCC

The Director of Ghana National Association of the Deaf, Mr. Juventus Duorinaah, expressed appreciation to UCC for the good working relationship and commitment to ensure the success of the programme. He indicated that DANIDA had agreed to fund the programme for the next three years.  “We have good plans towards the project based on the relationship with UCC and GNAD wants to make the University a strong research hub for Sign Language,” he noted. On the sustainability of the programme, he said: “GNAD will engage its Danish partners (DANIDA) to support the continuation of this programme in order to do more research and develop more teaching and learning materials.”

Mr. Duorinaah called for a stronger partnership between UCC and GNAD to project quality Sign Language Training and Education adding that “ UCC will be the first institution to issue an academic certificate on Sign Language Interpretation in West Africa of which we very proud to associate with.” He further stated that “Our target is to make the first phase of the project very successful so that in future, more people will enrol in the programme and learn from UCC.”

Mr. Duorinaah said the Association has projects in four countries – La Cote d’Ivoire, Togo, Niger and Mali and they would want to incorporate the training of Sign Language Interpreters as part of the pro.  “It is our expectation that in future, we shall have people coming from these countries to study at UCC,” he stated.
