The Chief Director at the Ministry of Education (MoE), Mr. Divine Yao Ayidzoe, has disclosed that the Ministry will no longer send Ghanaian medical students to Cuba.

According to him, the students were unable to communicate and understand the Spanish language, posing a huge difficulty to their medical studies in Cuba.

The Provost of the College of Distance Education (CoDE), University of Cape Coast (UCC), Prof. Anokye Mohammed Adam, has cautioned students to desist from all forms of violent acts on campus.

Such actions, he noted, posed a threat to their future academic attainment since students who engage in violent clashes would face the full weight of the law, stating that failure to punish crime fosters impunity.

The College of Distance Education (CoDE) has launched a two hundred and four (204) page book titled, “Handbook of Research on Distance Education in Ghana” at the University of Cape Coast (UCC).

The eight (8) chapter book, which is in three (3) parts, touched on topics such as “Students’ Satisfaction and Persistence in Distance Education” and “Distance Education Students’ Readiness for Online Learning at UCC.”

The University of Cape Coast, UCC, has taken the lead to support the Ghana Police Service in the training of Personnel to fight the scourge of terrorism.

The Pro Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Rosemond Boohene, who made the disclosure, said UCC would continue to train law enforcers to counter terrorism threats on the state to ensure the safety of citizenry.

The College of Distance Education (CoDE), University of Cape Coast has donated assorted items worth thousands of Ghana Cedis to the Ahotokurom Orphanage in the Cape Coast Metropolis of the Central Region.

As part of the CoDE Day, the donation formed part of the College’s corporate social responsibility to mark the 60th anniversary celebration of the University of Cape Coast and to provide succour to the inmates at the orphanage.

The immediate past Provost of the College of Distance Education (CoDE), Prof. Isaac K. Galyuon has underscored the invaluable contributions of CoDE towards expanding access for Ghanaians to pursue quality tertiary education.

He said scores of people had been offered the opportunity to enroll to pursue academic programmes via the distance mode of education.

The Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, has presented a brand new 66-seater bus to the University of Cape Coast (UCC).

The gesture was in fulfillment of a pledge he made to the University during the launch of the 60th anniversary celebration of UCC in April, this year.

A Professor of Religious and Moral Education at the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Rev. Prof. Seth Asare-Danso, is calling on government through the Ghana Education Service (GES) to make the study of Religious and Moral Education (RME) a core subject from the pre-school to secondary levels.

He described as baseless the argument advanced by a section of the public that RME had not been able to eradicate moral decadence in society and thus, its study was irrelevant at the pre-tertiary level.
