We the entire body of International Students Association KsTU Chapter is displeased with the action of the Government of Ghana towards their Technical Universities Staffs for not complying and respecting their respective agreements and promises made to them before now. It's indeed a strategic setback to Education in the system which is not only affecting Ghanaians but also international Students from many countries of the world who choose to study in Ghana for the love and passion they have for Ghana. The academic strike action by Technical Universities in Ghana took place late last year over the matter of upgrade in payment which the Government of Ghana accepted to fulfill but later didn't fulfill their promises. The strike action by the same Technical Universities is here again and it's deeply affecting international Students in many ways including their programmed academic budget and quality education with respect to time. We are using this privilege to communic...

It's quite a displeasure seeing Lecturers and their students loosing taste of a real relationship. If the students are not good, check their lectures and guiding counselors. Lecturers and guiding counselors are like parents to their students and not like a lion and a goat to each other respectively. The lecturers and guiding counselor are to bear in mind that they are training the future leaders who will rule, lead and govern the country and hold international positions in different sectors and places round the world. Therefore, they should input their best to ensure that the future is safe by giving good and adequate training to their students. It's quite unpleasant noticing that some lecturers choose to hurt their students directly and indirectly which brings in the negative components that break good relationship. Thus giving a different sense to their responsibility and understanding to their students. In addition, it's a poor attitude to professionalism ...

In 2017, when Best Somadina, living up to his name, emerged the Mass Communication Best Graduating Student from Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), formerly known as Anambra State University, he knew he would get a stream of awards. But the items he got left him bemused: a tuber of yam, a fowl and a certificate. “People expected me to get a gift related to books, but when I got yam and fowl they started laughing, wondering whether I’m a native doctor. If I had got a laptop, or N500,000 to help me for Master’s degree, it would have made more sense,” he said later in an interview with  BBC . Bamisaye Tosin has a similar story. He got N200 for being the  best graduating student (BGS) at the Ekiti State University’s (EKSU) Department of Civil Engineering.. Although, Mr Bamisaye told PREMIUM TIMES he was not discouraged, many class-top graduates like him are no longer impressed with the reward system for academic excellence in Nigeria.

Speaking on Thursday during the conferment of postgraduate and honorary degrees at UNILAG’s 50th convocation, Babalakin said Nigerians universities could not continue to survive as “government departments expecting government largesse.” ut if government cannot afford it, then we all must join forces to do it. If the choice is between quality education and free education, I choose the former.” Citing examples of universities that had worked hard to be self-sufficient, Babalakin said, “Harvard University today has an average of $36bn.
