Students of colleges of education boycott govt officials

Students from the seven colleges of education in the Ashanti Region yesterday boycotted the Deputy Minister of Education in charge of Tertiary Education, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwah, and his entourage at a programme at the Wesley College of Education in Kumasi meant to bring governance to the doorstep of students.

No comments

When contacted to react to the students’ action, Mr Ablakwah declined to comment.

“For now I don’t have anything to say but will soon come out with a statement,” he said.

Campus Connect

The programme, dubbed: ‘Campus Connect’, is an initiative of the Ministry of Education to bring governance to the doorstep of students and create an avenue for the students to air their concerns over mainly educational policies and their impact on students.

It was a sequel to one that had taken place at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) the previous night.
