Under the scheme, students are to be assisted to pursue various courses in tertiary education, while the teachers would be supported to pursue professional courses such as Graduate Diploma in Management Studies, Graduate Diploma in Legal Studies, Diploma in Journalism and Media studies, Graduate Diploma in Project Management, Graduate Diploma in Finance and Management, among others.
To make the programme effective, lecturers for the various courses would move from the various centres to conduct classes for the students at agreed periods based on the timetable for the courses. Some of the courses are to be organised by the Institute of Marketing and Chartered Institute of Banking, among others.
The beneficiaries will have between 50 and 100 per cent of the cost of their school fees paid by the foundation.
Speaking at a ceremony to present the scholarship to the beneficiaries at New Edubaise, Mr Raymond Adjei, the the Director for Business Development, Policy and Programme Implementation of Naamansa Foundation, said the support was aimed at ensuring that many people got the opportunity to upgrade themselves.
Arrangement with various institutions
He said the foundation had, therefore, arranged with the various institutions which run those programmes and had extended their training centres to the Ghana Secondary Technical School at Takoradi, Mfantsipim at Cape Coast, Ola Girls at Ho, Prempeh College in Kumasi, Techiman Secondary and the New Edubiase Senior High School.
Mr Adjei said looking at the need to develop the country’s human resource, there was the need for students to strive hard to have skills and professional knowledge that would make them stand tall when it comes to job placement.
The Assistant Headmaster of Dompoase Senior High School in charge of Administration, Mr Owusu Britwum, commended the foundation for the support and pledged cooperation from the school administration to ensure that the beneficiaries would study the courses successfully.
