Education Ministry On A Study Tour In Germany

As part of the process of converting the Polytechnics to Technical Universities as the President John Dramani Mahama promised, a delegation of the Ministry of Education led by the Deputy Minister of Education in charge of tertiary education, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, will travel to Germany from the 29th March on a short Study Visit to selected Technical Universities in that country. Other members of the delegation include Mr. Enoch Cobbinah, the Chief Director of the Ministry of Education, and Dr. George Afeti, the Chairman of the Technical Committee charged with the responsibility of developing a roadmap for the conversion process. The study visit, which is under the kind sponsorship of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), will afford the delegation the opportunity to assess at firsthand the strengths of the German Technical University system for adaption to the proposed Technical Universities in Ghana.
