Member of the Board of Education of Ghana, Anis Haffar
Anis Haffar, a pedagogue and member of the Ghana Council's Education Department, challenged students at Heritage Christian College (HCC), a university located in Amasaman-Accra, to gain advanced skills for position itself favorably in a competitive global market.
He noted that while graduate unemployment rates are high in Ghana and Africa, society still needs graduates with practical skills that can transform different sectors of the economy.
Anis Haffar spoke at the fourth edition of Heritage Christian College in Amasaman-Accra. He stressed the need for students to develop their potential to the maximum, to direct themselves, to use technology to solve problems and to create added value to become the reference people in their field.
At this year's ceremony, 95 students, including 70 boys and 25 girls, have been registered. The theme of the event was "Does our higher education prepare graduates for global competence?" This year's theme highlights one of the core values of HCC – Global Competence.
Dr. Samuel Twumasi-Ankrah, president of the university, said that although the university is only 4 years old, it is redefining university education in Ghana and Africa because it virtually expresses the company's core values in terms of entrepreneurship, philanthropy, ethics and overall competence. .
To illustrate this fact, the President cited the world award won by 3 HCC students at the San Diego University's Global Student Innovation Challenge, the 2018 Global Social Innovation Challenge. A starting capital of $ 16,500 to start producing charcoal from human excreta.
In addition, 22 HCC students received a total of 100,000 GHC at the HCC Start-Up Challenge (2018) to start their own business. He added that, on HCC's Philanthropy Day (2018), students and staff mobilized and donated 10,000 GHC to the Gomoa Fetteh Village of Hope Orphanage.
A series of seminars on ethics and Christian values was also organized to better anchor students and the HCC community in these core values of HCC.
The Dean of the University, Dr. Williams Atuilik, urged students to take advantage of all opportunities offered by the HCC to prepare to excel in life after graduation.
