GHANA BIBLE COLLEGE NOW ACCREDITED TO RUN CIRCULAR PROGRAMMES

-

The Ghana Bible College, a theology school of the Churches of Christ, Ghana, has now been accredited by the National Accreditation Board as the Kumasi Campus of the KNUSTFORD University College to run secular academic courses for the award of first degrees and Diplomas. 

Until now, the Ghana Bible College which was established in the 1960s by Missionaries of the Church as a lasting monument towards the great Commission of Jesus Christ, offered two year courses leading to the award of Sacred Ministry and Divinity Certificates to its products. 

The Principal of the College, Emmanuel Antwi made this known at the 33rd graduation ceremony of the College, in Kumasi. Twenty-six students passed out with Diploma Certificates in Sacred Ministry and Divinity. 

The Principal announced also that a Campus of the College has been set up in Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo region to enable interested persons from that region and beyond to also pursue the courses on offer. 

Mr. Antwi disclosed that the Board of the College has approved that students of the College, including the past ones, be given Ordination Certificate to enable them to get state recognition to officiate certain public functions such as marriage and burial. 

He said even though the College has made some progress during the past year, there is still more to be done, considering the fact that its external donors have withdrawn their financial assistance. 

Mr. Antwi therefore appealed to members of the Churches of Christ in Ghana to increase their monetary contributions towards the upkeep of the school.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency whic...

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously milit...
