The Dean of the SAADGS, Dr Nicholas Addo Tetteh also speaking at the ‘school day’ celebration, which was held on Thursday 2nd May, 2019 said "the key purpose of this school day is to establish the point that the role of the artist in developing the industrialisation growth of Ghana’s economy cannot be ignored".
He indicated that the 'school day' programme is also to offer students, artisans, etc an opportunity to interact with lecturers and teachers as well as resource persons on how to advance Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
"It is also worth noting that being the youngest school, we need a lot of attention in the area of equipment, tools and materials as well as both international and local relations with industries. We, therefore, call on stakeholders to come to our aid financially as well as bring more enlightenment to make SAADGS a pillar or a hub of both art and language industry; where people within and outside the country can be proud of" he added.
