A group of 49 pupils from some basic schools in Togo and Ivory Coast are in UCC on a one-month study visit. This is part of the language immersion programme.
While at UCC, the pupils will learn the English Language at the UCC Basic School.
The pupils, made up of 40 Ivorians and 9 Togolese, have been assigned Ghanaian mother-figures who will take care of them throughout their stay in Ghana.
