Ferdinand|EducationGhana| October 31|UK Principals host Ghanaian Parents, Students and Media on UK Boarding School System
The Kempinski Gold Coast City Accra on Wednesday 5th October 2022 hosted parents, students and the media at an exhibition organised by experienced consultant Mark Brooks Education, who has been advising families in West Africa for 14 years.
The event formed part of a visit by top principals from the UK to host leadership seminars and the Boarding School Fair in Ghana.
A delegation of a dozen principals and senior leaders met with parents, students, government ministers and business leaders at a UK Boarding School Exhibition to discuss the opportunities offered by a British boarding education.
Supports
The exhibition was supported by the British High Commission in Ghana and the Department for International Trade (DIT) team in Accra who provided superb support for the UK Boarding Schools Week events.
Attendees
The exhibition was attended by more than 40 families and joined by over 60 Heads and senior leaders.
”We are very grateful to Harriet Thompson, British High Commissioner to Ghana and Non-Resident Ambassador-Designate to Togo, Burkina Faso and Benin who visited the exhibition and was introduced to the eleven participating schools.” The team indicated.
“The United Kingdom and Ghana enjoy shared values, a thriving trading relationship and a belief in the transformation that an outstanding, all-round education with strong pastoral care can make to the futures of our young people,” said Mark Brooks.
Many successful academics, artists, commercial leaders, lawyers, medics, musicians, politicians, scientists and sportspeople from across Ghana owe their resilience, self-confidence and success to the firm foundations they developed at a British boarding school.
“I am really looking forward to coming to Ghana in October. I am excited to meet the people and fellow heads on this amazing tour, I really just can’t wait,” said Christine Cunniffe, Principal of LVS Ascot.
The events are fully supported by the British Deputy High Commission in Ghana, and in association with the UK’s Department for International Trade (DIT).
