The matriculants swearing the Matriculation oath

UCC Matriculates 2018/2019 Distance Students

28 Dec, 2018 By louis Mensah

The University has matriculated students of the College of Distance Education who were admitted to pursue various undergraduate and postgraduate programmes through distance for the 2018/2019 academic year.

Statistics

A total of 15, 734 students comprising 14, 263 undergraduates and 1, 471 postgraduates were matriculated across the various zones in the country. In terms of gender distribution, the figure is made up of 8, 239 males and 7, 491. The undergraduate programmes comprise 7,373 males and 6, 890 females whiles 866 males and 605 females are pursuing postgraduate programmes. The number of undergraduates offering Education programmes is 10, 383 and those offering Business is 3,880. For the postgraduate studies, 554 are offering Education programmes whiles 917 are pursuing Business programmes.

Increase in Female Admissions

Speaking at the ceremony in Cape Coast, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ghartey Ampiah, was happy to note that the number of female students had increased whiles that of men had dropped as compared to last year’s figure. “The percentage of undergraduate men that entered the University through the distance mode has dropped from 53.2%, in the 2017/2018 academic year to 48.3% in the 2018/2019 academic year. This shows an increase in 1.5% of female population over last year’s increase of 0.9%” he stated.

Prof. Ampiah congratulated the women for exceeding last year’s admission enrolment adding that “I am happy that the prediction for improvement over last year’s percentage has been attained” Prof. Ampiah noted that the University was gradually moving towards a 50:50 gender ratio for admission of students into the Distance Education programme which he explained had significant socio-economic implications for the family and the society in general. He urged women in the working class to take advantage of the convenience and flexibility distance education offered and enrol to improve their economic, political and social lots.

Virtual Classroom

The Vice-Chancellor announced that plans were far advanced by the College to roll out a virtual classroom facility for postgraduate studies. He indicated that the facility would enable students to access lectures wherever they found themselves.

New Programmes

Prof. Ampiah said following the restructuring of the College some programmes which were offered on the mainstream have been approved to be rolled out through distance mode. “ “This will enable students to easily transfer their credits from the distance mode to the regular mode or vice versa,” he explained. He announced that the Bachelor of Early Childhood has been introduced whiles the Bachelor of Commerce and the Bachelor of Management Studies programmes have been replaced with B.Sc. (Marketing), B.Sc. (Finance), BSc. (Human Resource Management), and B.Sc. (Accounting).

Prof. Ampiah noted that programmes from the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences would be mounted on distance in the future. “The intention is to bring on board as many programmes as possible that are run in the conventional system to the distance mode so that applicants will have a variety in the choice of programmes,” he explained.

Decentralisation of CoDE's Services

The Vice-Chancellor informed the students that most of the activities of the College have been decentralised to the regional offices. He asked them to go to the regional offices to address their issues. “Regional Coordinators are available at all these offices to address the needs of students at the first instance before any issue is referred to the centre in Cape Coast” he added. He told them that Assistant Registrars were being appointed to the regional centres to take charge of all administrative issues adding that “I will encourage you to make maximum use of these services and use the staff at the Regional Offices in order to reduce the risk of travelling all the way to Cape Coast”.

Prof. Ampiah indicated that the Student Records Management Unit of the College had developed an online Student Support System to allow students to communicate their complaints to the College for quick and prompt redress. He urged the students to also make maximum use of the service.

Advice to Matriculants

The Vice-Chancellor reminded the students that the distance education programme was not like the conventional mode where students had a lot of time to themselves for their academic work. “You will have to make a lot of sacrifices to enable you complete the programme on schedule and also be successful. Those ahead of you have done it so you can also do it,” he advised them. He asked them to manage their time very well, especially those who had to combine work with family life.

On library Services, Prof. Ampiah said the University provided both physical and virtual library services as well as support services for distance students in their research work. He entreated them to take advantage of the unique opportunity to improve themselves. “A new chapter has opened in your life and what you will become in future will depend on what you make of the experiences you go through from now. At the end of your programme, we expect you to offer quality service to your families, society and the country at large” he urged them.

Zones for the Matriculation

The matriculation ceremony was held in three zones of CoDE thus, Southern Zone, Middle and Northern Zones. For the Southern Zone the matriculation ceremony was held in two centres. Students from the Central and Western Regions had their matriculation in Cape Coast whiles students Greater Accra and Volta Regions converged in Accra for the ceremony.

Middle Zone’s matriculation was held in Kumasi for students from Ashanti and Brong Ahafo Regions as well as some part of the Eastern Region. The Pro Vice-Chancellor, Prof. George K. T. Oduro spoke on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor. In the Northern Zone, distance students from Northern, Upper East and Upper West Regions had their matriculation ceremony at the Tamale for the matriculation ceremony.

UCC Department of Forensic Sciences to Mentor CID Detective Training Academy

28 Dec, 2018 By louis Mensah

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has expressed interest to collaborate with the University of Cape Coast’s Department of Forensic Sciences (DFS) to train its personnel.

As part of the collaboration, the Department of Forensic Sciences will mentor the CID Detective Training Academy (DTA) to run programmes at the certificate to the postgraduate levels.

In view of this development, a delegation from the University visited the CID Headquarters in Accra on Friday 21st December, 2018 to interact with the Director General and top officials of the CID. The delegation from UCC was led by the Head of Department of Forensic Sciences, Dr. Richmond Afoakwah who was accompanied by the Head of Institutional Affiliation Office, Mr. Justice Agyenim Boateng and Ms. Fiona Kudiabor of the Department of Forensic Sciences.

The officials from the CID Headquarters were DCOP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, Director-General, CID, ACP George Tweneboah, Deputy Director-General, CID, ACP Joseph Gyamera Oklu, Director of Operations, CID, ACP Frederick Kwadwo Agyei, Interpol, DSP (Rev) Emelia Nana Yeboah, Staff Officer to DG, CID, and Supt. Benjamin Affisah, Commandant of the Detective Training Academy.

Welcome Address from CID Director-General

Welcoming the delegation from UCC, the Director-General of CID, DCOP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, said the Police Training Schools had a challenge with accreditation and therefore, certificates awarded to personnel who go through such training were not academically recognised. She noted the collaboration with UCC was to obtain accreditation for the programmes being ran by the CID Detective Training Academy for its personnel. “Our aim is to get accreditation for all the training schools starting with the Detective Training Academy,” she stated.

DCOP Addo-Danquah said the CID was poised to become one of the best investigative bodies in the world, hence, the need to upgrade the training of personnel to meet world standards. She indicated that with UCC Department of Forensic Sciences on board, she was confident that personnel would receive the requisite training to enhance their levels of professionalism in detecting and minimizing crime in the country. She thanked the officials from UCC for coming and indicated her team’s preparedness to collaborate with UCC to make this dream a reality.

UCC is Well-Positioned to Provide Quality Training to CID Personnel

Responding, the Dr. Afoakwah said, his department has been collaborating with the Ghana Police Service and other security agencies in the country for some time now and assured the Director General of mentoring the CID Detective Training Academy to produce quality personnel not only for the Ghana Police Service but other security forces in the country and beyond.

Dr. Afoakwah explained that in his interaction with the Inspector-General of Ghana Police Service, Mr. David Asante-Apeatu, the IGP has repeatedly highlighted his vision to revamp the CID through training of highly skilled and motivated personnel who were positioned to effectively investigate crime. He was, therefore, very delighted that the CID boss had taken this initiative to bring meaning to the IGP’s vision. He noted that UCC was well-positioned with competent faculty and facilities to bring the vision of the IGP into reality. “We need a police service capable of investigating crime in whatever form it may be, and with this collaboration, you are assured of quality training that will provide personnel with relevant skill set to deal with crime in the country,” he assured.

Introduction of Bachelor Programme in Police Science

The Head of DFS, indicated that the Department would soon introduce a Bachelor programme in Police Science to train a pool of highly skilled graduates from which the Police Service and other security agencies could recruit to serve in special areas of their operation. “I must add that we involved some top officials from the Police Service to assist us in drafting the curriculum,” he stated.

Affiliation & Academic Processes for Academic Programmes

On his part the Head of Institutional Affiliation Office, Mr. Justice Agyenim Boateng, explained that any academic programme from Diploma level and above was regulated by the National Accreditation Board (NAB), however the University on its own is mandated to approve certificate level programmes. “So if the current programme at the Detective Training Academy is a certificate level one, then UCC Academic Board will be the approving authority. This means that we can work around the clock to get the programme approved as soon as possible since National Accreditation Board’s involvement will not be required” he clarified. He also noted that before the affiliation could be granted for the collaboration to begin, a team from UCC would have to assess facilities at the training academy to ensure they are up to standard and also make recommendations for upgrade if need be.

Mr. Boateng further explained that the University would review the curriculum to conform to best practice around the world and NAB standards before approving it and finally granting affiliation. He said all these rigorous processes were to ensure that quality would not be compromised adding that “You are aware that UCC does not compromise on its quality standards and because of that our products are highly sought for in Ghana and beyond”.

At the end of the deliberation a consensus was reached that the programme would initially begin at the certificate level for personnel of the CID. Other advanced level training programmes will be drafted for the benefit of Senior CID personnel. It was also agreed that Dr. Afoakwah would liaise with the Commandant of the Detective Training Academy, Supt. Benjamin Affisah to review the existing curriculum. Supt. Affisah would conduct infrastructure audit of the facilities at the Training Academy and also prepare a tentative budget for running the programme.

Department of Agric. Engineering Trains Two Communities on Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato in Gari-Processing

28 Dec, 2018 By louis Mensah

The Department of Agricultural Engineering under the School of Agriculture has held a training programme on processing Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP) with gari.

The Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato known locally as “Apomudzin Santom" was discovered by a team of researchers from the Department of Agricultural Engineering.

OFSPS is Rich in Vitamin A

Welcoming participants to the training, the Dean, School of Agriculture, Prof. Elvis Asare-Bediako, stated that due to high the prevalence ‘Vitamin A’ deficiency in Ghana, there was a rise in the incidence of blindness, child mortality, maternal mortality and other related diseases. In order to curb this situation, he recommended the consumption of OFSP which he explained was rich in “Vitamin A”. “Planting and processing the Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato in Gari-processing will not only provide good nutrients to the body but will also create job opportunities for the individual who will pursue it,” he pointed out.

OFSPS Can be Processed with other Food Items

The Principal Investigator of the research project, Prof. Ernest Ekow Abano, indicated that investigation has revealed that people prefer consuming processed OFSP mixed with other food products hence the decision to use the fortified food method. He described the fortified food method as a way of adding OFSP in the regular food that people eat such as gari, kenkey, fruit juice, pastries among others.

Highlighting the importance of using the OFSP, he noted that “they are rich in beta-carotene; serves as colourant, and the production and processing of OFSP and provide job opportunities.” He advised gari-processors to keep the OFSP fortified-gari from direct sunlight and cover it with light-tight materials when being carried or transported.

Prof. Ernest Ekow Abano commended the participants for their contribution and participation in the training. He noted that apart from reducing the Vitamin A Deficiency and its’ related issues with OFSP fortified food in Ghana, it was important to consider the production and processing of OFSP as full business opportunities.

Benefits and Dynamics of Fermentation Processing of OFSP

Speaking on the benefits and dynamics of fermentation in processing OFSP with cassava, a member of the research team, Dr. Enoch Quayson, stated that it was very important to allow the materials to go through fermentation because that would help drain out water and cause certain chemical reactions. According to him, “it will help give good taste and aroma to the food; increase beta-carotene and give appealing yellow colour to food.” He cautioned that though fermentation was indispensable, it should not exceed the stipulated time before frying.

Business Potential of OFSP

On the issues of business, a member of the research team, Dr. Martin Bosompem, admonished the participants to always determine the key actors of OFSP in gari-processing; identify the key factors to consider in gari-processing and to keep simple records of their day-to-day activities. Stressing on record keeping, he said that it was the only means through which one could realise his/her returns in business. “Always remember, we trade for profit, but not with the interest of cheating others or being cheated,” he advised.

Emphasising the record keeping, another member of the research team, Mrs. Margaret Forson, advised the participants that for the purpose of determining one’s profits and losses, they must always keep take notes of every activity as far as the processing was concerned.

Participants for the training programme were made up of OFSP growers from Domenase in Komenda and gari processors from Duakor community near UCC South Campus.
