\"BISHOPBishop Charles Agyinasare<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Chancellor of Perez University College, Bishop Charles Agyinasare, has urged Ghanaians to support President Nana Akufo-Addo\u2019s Free Senior High School policy, describing it as \u201claudable\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Founder of Perez Chapel International said on Saturday, 7 April 2019 during a Congregation of the university in Pomadze, Central Region that the Free SHS policy was a heads-on confrontation of Ghana\u2019s human resource development needs by President Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Akufo-Addo\u2019s administration is responding to the human resource development needs of Ghana with the implementation of the Free Senior High School programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cI strongly believe that the Free SHS programme is a laudable policy and all Ghanaians must work hard to sustain it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, as a country, must look beyond politics and resolve to ensure that any policy meant to better the lot of the future generation, irrespective of which government initiated it, is entrenched and supported to work to the benefit of those who need it most. And from all indications, the Free SHS policy is one of such. Let us, as a united country, help smoothen any rough edges, if there are any, and make it the envy of the entire continent and the world at large\u201d, Bishop Agyinasare said.<\/p>\n

<\/b>Read Bishop Agyinasare\u2019s full speech below<\/p>\n

<\/b>Chancellor\u2019s statement<\/p>\n

<\/b>Ghana Beyond Aid: The Role of Private Tertiary Education<\/p>\n

The role of private tertiary education in the socio-economic development is crucial to the realisation of the \u201cGhana Beyond Aid\u201d agenda. The government\u2019s transformational agenda of \u201cGhana Beyond Aid\u201d requires that the country develop a dynamic human capital to drive its socio-economic activities. Without a strong human capital, all other factors of production that enhance economic development might remain ineffective. Ghana needs an educated and qualified workforce. This is because all government policies and socio-economic interventions might be of no significant effect if Ghana does not have an educated workforce\u2014a workforce that is highly qualified and capable of providing the needed solutions to the problems of a tech-hungry and entrepreneurial-driven Ghana.<\/p>\n

Various scholars have suggested that economic development occurs as a result of increasing productivity and structural change, which demands investment, job creation, and technological advancement. Education is a vital instrument for increasing productivity, structural change and economic freedom. The public tertiary institutions alone cannot develop the human capital needed for economic development and transformation of Ghana.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo\u2019s administration is responding to the human resource development needs of Ghana with the implementation of the Free Senior High School programme. I strongly believe that the Free SHS programme is a laudable policy and all Ghanaians must work hard to sustain it.<\/p>\n

We, as a country, must look beyond politics and resolve to ensure that any policy meant to better the lot of the future generation, irrespective of which government initiated it, is entrenched and supported to work to the benefit of those who need it most. And from all indications, the Free SHS policy is one of such. Let us, as a united country, help smoothen any rough edges, if there are any, and make it the envy of the entire continent and the world at large.<\/p>\n

In the near future, our Senior High Schools will churn out thousands who might be competing for places in our universities. Private tertiary institutions must, therefore, position themselves to leverage the opportunity provided by the implementation of the Free SHS programme.<\/p>\n

Perez University College is strategically positioning itself to partner with the government to pursue the \u201cGhana Beyond Aid\u201d agenda. Our vision is to become a top entrepreneurial university in Africa. Our role is to train and transform our students into great leaders and successful entrepreneurs who will create jobs and contribute to the socio-economic development of Ghana and Africa. D. L. Moody, the great American evangelist, once said, “If a man is stealing nuts and bolts from a railway track, and, in order to change him, you send him to college, at the end of his education, he will steal the whole railway track!” Or simply put, education won’t change the heart. Therefore, I believe that if we must pursue the \u201cGhana Beyond Aid\u201d agenda and succeed, an entrepreneurial education approach underpinned by biblical Christian values is the way to go.<\/p>\n

Permit me to quote Thomas Isidore No\u00ebl Sankara, the late Burkinab\u00e9 military captain and pan-Africanist, who served as President of Burkina Faso from 1983 until his assassination in 1987. \u201cHe who feeds you, controls you.\u201d We need a diversified human workforce for wealth creation, economic prosperity and freedom. A context-driven and an industry-tailored private education will help facilitate the \u201cGhana Beyond Aid\u201d agenda. Many African countries (though independent) are still subject to the control of their colonial powers simply because they have not been able to gain economic independence beyond political independence.<\/p>\n

It is my prayer and hope that all of us will embrace the \u201cGhana Beyond Aid\u201d agenda and develop Ghana according to the will of God.<\/p>\n

On this note, by the power vested in me as the Chancellor of Perez University College, I declare this congregation open.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
