Minister of Education, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has assured management of University of Cape Coast that his office will ensure the early completion of an ongoing School of Graduate Studies office complex at the university.

Dr. Opoku Prempeh gave the assurance upon a request made by the Vice Chancellor, Professor Joseph Ghartey Ampiah at the 17th Session of the 50th Congregation of the University for Graduate students last Saturday.

The overall best graduating student of the Institute of Education, UCC, Mr. Ransford Owusu has called on his fellow graduates to strive for higher heights in order to fit into the ever changing and growing trends of society.

Staff of the Komenda College of Education say the college will near collapse if the Ministry of Education does not revise its educational reforms to reintroduce the general education programme which has been the main and most preferred programme of training for most students of the college since the college was established.
