The Tumu College of Education has awarded Diploma Certificates to 1,322 graduates who completed sandwich courses in Early Childhood/Basic Education Certificates between 2013 and 2017.
The presentation was made at the 2nd congregation of the College at Tumu in the Upper West Region.
Mr Adams Kaleo Bertinus, the Principal of the College, commended past and present governments for the various roles they played towards the expansion and improvement of educational facilities in the country.
[contextly_sidebar id=”rnfYXLKIs3RIVZ8nEfS0H3dU9Vx2V1vX”]He said some of the efforts made in the sector include: the Free Senior High School policy, the re-introduction of the Teacher Trainee Allowance, the introduction of the new Teacher Education Reforms, and the implementation of the National Teachers’ Standards.
Mr Bertinus said pledged a refund of examination fees of any student who comes out with ‘A’s in all courses of a semester.
“I hope that when the College Council is reconstituted, which I hope will be done soon, it will take upon itself to institute a more sustainable meritorious award for outstanding performance for every semester and all levels,” he said.
Mr Bertinus said the Tumu College of Education could boast of students always passing out with 100 percent marks. However, it was yet to institute an award to that effect.
He said the College prides itself with the decent conduct of examinations as the students exhibit a high sense of discipline and comportment during examinations, adding that staff also show the required control and commitment during supervision and invigilation.
The Principal of the College appealed to the Municipal Chief Executive for the area to return the water facility provided by the GTZ to be used by the college community to pave the way for the re-accreditation process by the National Accreditation Board come August 2018.
Mr Ridwan Abass Dauda, the Member of Parliament for Sissala East, urged the graduates to exhibit traits of diligence and commitment to duty when they are sent to their various postings.
He called on the youth of the area to strive hard to maintain peace and co-exist harmoniously with each other.
Mr Dauda called for maintenance of good environmental sanitation at educational institutions in the municipality saying the government has awarded contracts for the provision of modern toilet facilities with mechanised boreholes.
Mr Karim Nanyua, the Municipal Chief Executive for Sissala East, appealed to the Colleges of Education to update their curriculum to ensure that they produce well-equipped graduates.
He urged Principals of Colleges of Education to take advantage of the restructuring of the curriculum of Colleges of Education by the government to press home the request to make the colleges particular professional tertiary institutions with the different code of ethics.
