UCC Matriculates Nursing and Midwifery Council PDGE Students

06 Jul, 2021 By DIS

The University of Cape Coast (UCC) has matriculated 29 Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Post Diploma Graduate in Education (PDGE) students for the 2020/2021 Academic Year.

Addressing the gathering on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor, the Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Dora Francisca Edu-Buandoh, explained that the ceremony had been organised to receive and matriculate the students who had been admitted into the Post-Diploma in Education programme of the Centre for Teacher Professional Development of the University of Cape Coast. 

She indicated that over the years, the Ministry of Health, through the Nursing and Midwifery Council had been considering several ways to train its officers at the national level and Tutors in the various health education institutions to improve the development of the curriculum of health education and also help them to teach effectively. 

“In this regard, educators in the sectors are expected to possess some professional attributes which define the characteristics that are readily definable and essential to effective teaching to enhance student learning and achievement. There is, therefore, the need for us to train health workers who would reflect on ways of helping their clients to acquire the best of health services needed to progress in today's complex health environment,” she said

She noted that as a result, the Nursing and Midwifery Council in collaboration with the Center for Teacher Professional Development put together a unique Diploma in Education Programme to train all the regional and national officers of the Council to enhance curriculum development, instructional supervision and above all the assessment of trainee skills and dispositions in the field of health.

The Registrar of the Nursing and Midwifery Council, Mr. Felix Nyante, encouraged the students to make good use of the opportunity to learn. He stated that the goal was to end paper-based licensure exams and run the exams online. This would be the first time in the history of Africa that a regulatory body would run its exams online and more nations continue to come to us to understudy us, he added. 

He praised the collaboration between the University of Cape Coast and the Nursing and Midwifery Council and further stated that the collaboration was not only for transfer of knowledge to NMC graduates but rather empowerment for them have multiple effects on the African region after their studies.

 

Present at the ceremony were Mr. Jeff Teye Nyame, the Registrar of UCC; Mr. Gideon Enoch Abbeyquaye, the Director of Academic Affairs, UCC; Prof. Eugene K. Darteh, the Dean of Students, UCC; and Prof. Eric Anane, the Head of Department of the Centre for Teacher Professional Development, UCC.

Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast, has officially opened the 2nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Ghanaian Academic and Research Network (GARNET) at the School of Medical Sciences Auditorium of the University of Cape Coast.

 

In his address, Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong said “The University of Cape Coast fully associates itself with the vision of GARNET to build and operate a world-class network, infrastructure and services to link all Ghanaian research and education community to support teaching, learning and research, and by extension its members to the global research and education network community”.

 

He commended GARNET for its projects and services such as the EDUROAM project, and their effort in building capacity of ICT professionals for member institutions, as well as their collaboration with the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Ghana (CARLIGH), to ensure seamless access in providing world class scholarly electronic information resources to support teaching, learning and research. He urged GARNET to deliberate on the successes and achievements, and above all the challenges facing the organisation. “I am very optimistic that as ICT professionals who are trained to provide solutions, you will leave this meeting with solutions to most of the daunting challenges that face GARNET”. This he said, will make the organisation stronger.

25 Jun, 2021 By DIS

A graduation ceremony has been held for the fourth cohort of the University of Cape Coast

(UCC) and University at Buffalo (UB) Leadership Empowerment Certificate Programme at

the University of Cape Coast. A total of 12 graduates were presented with certificates at the

ceremony.

Speaking at the graduation ceremony, the Pro Vice-Chancellor of UCC, Prof Dora F. Edu-

Buandoh, said that although the COVID -19 pandemic had changed the nature of

instructional delivery in many parts of the world, she was happy to note that the fourth cohort

had an excellent virtual experiential learning. She ceased the opportunity to encourage

graduate students in UCC and other universities in Ghana to enrol in the fifth cohort of the

programme which begins in August 2021. She explained that enrolling in the programme

would add more value to their degrees to give them a competitive advantage over their

colleagues and peers.

Prof. Edu-Buandoh said that the Management of UCC was committed to the signed

Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that gave birth to the programme. She explained that

the MoU focused on the promotion of research, the Leadership Empowerment Certificate

Programme for interested postgraduate students in UCC, and library services partnership

between UB and UCC.

The Pro Vice-Chancellor further expressed gratitude to the UB and UCC Coordinators, and

the Dean of the Centre for International Education (CIE), Prof. Kwaku Boakye and his staff

for their continuous support of the programme. She also thanked Prof. Paul Tesluk, Prof.

Dorothy Siaw-Asamoah, Miss Molly Anderson, Prof. Charles Lindsey, and the entire UB

team for their commitment to the MoU. She further expressed gratitude to Prof. Abigail

Opoku Mensah and Dr. Michael Boakye-Yiadom for their enthusiasm to assist the students.

The UB partners who virtually participated in the programme, took turns to advise the

graduates to show exceptional leadership wherever they find themselves and also apply the

knowledge and skills they had acquired from the programmme.

25 Jun, 2021 By DIS

The University of Cape Coast has organised an orientation programme for the first cohort of Police Cadet Officers admitted to pursue a Postgraduate Diploma in Security Studies in the 2020/2021 Academic Year.

The programme, which was held at Auditorium 900 in the C. A. Ackah Lecture Complex, was to expose the students to academic work and the University community in general.

In his welcome address, the Registrar, Mr. Jeff Teye Onyame, explained that the orientation programme was to offer the students the necessary information and assistance that would help them to succeed academically and develop personally. “At the end of the orientation, we expect that you will be adequately prepared to face and surmount any challenges in your studies right from the start,” he said.

The Registrar urged the students to be guided by excellence, empowerment, equal opportunities and ethical behaviour which formed the core values of the University. He was hopeful that their visit to UCC campus would be worthwhile.

The Dean of students, Prof. Eugene Kofour Maafo Darteh, assured the students that his Office would work with other Departments and Units to create a conducive teaching, learning and living environment to ensure their success and development as students of UCC. “In this instance, your living and study environment is at the Police Academy in Tesano, Accra, and we will liaise with relevant sections of the University to ensure that you are comfortable and your academic work progresses steadily until you graduate,” he assured.

The Dean of the School of Graduate Studies (SGS), Prof. Sarah Darkwa, explained that the School was responsible for coordinating postgraduate programmes in the five Colleges of the University.  “In essence, our key responsibilities are admissions and placement of students in Departments, Schools and Faculties; supervision of dissertation/thesis; collation of results for approval by the Academic Board and then to the Directorate of Academic Affairs for certification,” she explained.

The Senior Assistant Registrar, Mr. Eugene Hesse, run the students through the academic policies and regulations with emphasis on the grading system and requirements for graduation.
