The Kumasi Campus of the University College of Education Winneba (UCEW-K) has held its 14th Congregation with a call on the government, civil society organisations, and well-meaning individuals, for assistance with a massive inflow of financial resources to make the college truly functional.

The Vice Chancellor of the school, Prof. Asabre, noted that the college was now restricted in admitting more students, and also introducing new programmes, because of the lack of teaching and learning space, adding that the college also needs an administration block benefitting the status of a college with the potential of growing and developing into a well recognised tertiary institution.

He noted that obsolete equipment affects quality teaching and learning, and emphasised on consolidating financial structures considered to be effective, while new ones are being envisaged to take adequate care of the complex exigencies of a rapidly expanding university.

Dr. Emmanuel Kenneth Andoh, Omanhene of the Enyan-main Traditional Area, and Chairman of the University Council, also pointed to the challenges and task ahead of the graduates, as professionals and agents of development.

"You are now entering the real world, a world completely different from the one which you are graduating, and must not be found wanting, as the world is changing very rapidly," he cautioned, adding it was of fundamental importance that values and principles remain constant, because they have the strength of character and moral to live by those challenges.

He reminded them of the objectives of the training they had received over the years, and urged themselves to make useful and responsible citizen out of it.

"You, and only you, can prove to society that the university has indeed achieved such a particular objective," he said. He continued, "Though we believe that education is a right, you all know that not many people in the country get the opportunity to go to school and receive good education, let alone higher education," pointing to how very fortunate the granduants had been.

He noted, however, that the pursuit and acquisition of higher education, which may be every citizens' right, also comes with responsibility -the responsibility to serve society.
