Leadership Insights

Dr. Paul Kobina Effrim, Head of DEF-UEW, highlighted the workshop’s importance:

“Professional General Education courses serve as the foundation of academic development, equipping students with critical thinking, professional strategies, and problem-solving skills.”

He emphasized that the creation of comprehensive course manuals would streamline course delivery, ensuring consistency and high-quality instruction across all programmes.

“Together, we are not just developing resources; we are shaping the future of education in our institution. By standardizing our course materials, we can enhance the quality of our educational programmes,” Dr. Effrim stated.
