All about quality education
The Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Nana Oye Lithur, who was the special guest speaker, said the country was delighted at the innovative methods DPSI, Ghana had adopted to equip the students with the necessary skills to help them in decision-making, problem solving and critical thinking that met the demands of a fast changing world.

Nana Oye Lithur, however, challenged management and teaching staff of the school to not rest on their oars but to continue to strive harder for better laurels.
“Dear students, in today’s competitive world, education is a very vital tool. Nothing will have as great an impact on your success in life as your education. The opportunities that will open to you in life will be determined by the education you receive. Deep down in the hearts of us all we want to be leaders; leaders in governance, in science and technology, in the creative arts, in health, in academia, sports and what have you. But no matter the field of the career you choose, you will need education to pursue it.”
Striving for excellence

She was optimistic that DPSI Ghana would continue to make an impact in the provision of quality training and education that contributed not only to national development but international development.
“Our world is a global village and providing world class education has become fundamental to development. The efforts of DPSI Ghana greatly complements the government’s work in the nurturing of future leaders we all desire to see. Together, we are drawing our world one step ahead,” she emphasised.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Mrs Mawuena Trebah, said education was what translated into quality of life in every country, adding major company like B5 Plus Ghana, company related to DPSI International Ghana, is investing so much in Ghana to complement her efforts.”
