CIE Honours International Students at 2019 Dinner

10 May, 2019 By louis Mensah

The Centre for International Education (CIE), has organised the 2018/2019 “End-of-Year-Dinner and Awards Night” for International students in the University.

In his opening remark at the function, the Dean of CIE, Prof. Rosemond Boohene, said the programme was organised to honour outstanding international students who had excelled academically and in various ways. She added that the programme was to give international students the opportunity to socialise among themselves and University Management. “We have our students at heart because we churn them out to be creative for growth; curators and compassionate through internationalisation” he noted.

Prof. Boohene said the experiences they had gone through at UCC should propel them to excel wherever they find themselves after graduation. “We are happy you are here. You have shared the semester with us. We know you have had bad experiences and good experiences but I believe that is the reason why you moved to other countries,” she added. She wished the students well in their end of semester examinations.

The function was chaired by Prof. Sarah Darkwah of the Department of Vocational and Technical Education and it was graced by the Director of Academic Affairs, Mr. Jeff Teye Onyame; Prof. Lina Banks, Patron of International Students Association; Dr. Alex Azuka Ilechie, Assistant Registrar, CIE, Mr. Alfred Ghartey and the Assistant Registrar, Public Relations and Protocol Section, Mr. Felix Adu-Poku.

UCC to Mentor Palm Institute

09 May, 2019 By louis Mensah

The University of Cape Coast will officially extend its mentoring services to the Palm Institute at Shai Hills, Greater Accra Region soon.

Palm Institute is currently working with the National Accreditation Board (NAB) to obtain accreditation to run programmes at the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree levels. The Institute seeks to begin with the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology with affiliation from the UCC.

Accreditation of Programmes

The President of the Institute, Dr. Peter Carlos Okantey, who welcomed the Head of Institutional Affiliation Office, Mr. Justice Agyenim Boateng to his campus, said all the necessary documentation about the Institute and programmes to be offered had been submitted to NAB as part of the requirements for accreditation. He indicated that a team from NAB had already visited the facility and made some recommendations which have been implemented.

Supporting the Marginalised through NAPE Foundation

Explaining the objectives for the establishment of the Institute, Dr. Okantey said it emerged out of the Naa Amerley Palm Education (NAPE) Foundation which has been supporting youth from deprived communities to access tertiary education. “Since its establishment in 2006, NAPE Foundation which I named after my mother has sponsored more youth from less endowed communities to enter into both public and private Universities,” he explained.

Providing Access to Quality Tertiary Education

Dr. Okantey elaborated that the Foundation later raised funds to establish Palm Institute in order to give opportunities to more students to pursue tertiary education. “We are currently affiliated to the National Board for Professional and Technician Examinations, (NABPTEX) and offering two-year Diploma programmes in Business Administration, Computerized Accounting, Agribusiness and Finance, Banking Technology, and Accounting, and Procurement and Materials Management. He informed Mr. Boateng that the Institute has a student population of 60 for the Diploma programmes.

UCC Will Support Palm Institute to Succeed

Mr. Justice Agyenim Boateng commended the President for identifying UCC for the collaboration and assured him that, the University would also offer the necessary support for the Institute to deliver quality tertiary education to its students from Ghana and abroad. “UCC expects Palm Institute to uphold quality standards both in the areas of academic and governance of the institution,” he stressed. He further praised the President for instituting a Foundation that provided scholarships for needy students in the nook and cranny of Ghana. “Education is for the good of society and I am impressed about your benevolence and effort to impart knowledge to the marginalised through fundraising activities by the NAPE Foundation” he added.

Mr. Boateng said he was impressed with the facilities and the conducive environment on the campus.

Present at the interaction was the Coordinator of NAPE Foundation, Ms. Mckerizie Gibson and Director of Academic Affairs, Palm Institute, Mr. Murphy Opoku Acheampong.
