THE Presbyterian University College (PUC) last Saturday admitted 500 students at its eighth matriculation at Abetifi in the Eastern Region to pursue various programmes at the institution’s four campuses.
The students will be pursuing their studies at the Okwahu (Abetifi), Asante-Akyem (Agogo), Akropong-Akuapem and Tema campuses of the university.
Addressing the ceremony, the Principal of the institution, Professor K. Sraku-Lartey, said as part of measures to ensure quality academic programmes that would produce the best students, PUC had revised its strategic plan to reposition the institution.
“We are now striving to obtain a charter in five years’ time and make PUC self-sustaining financially within 10 years, as well as realign existing programmes and introduce new demand-driven ones whose outputs will meet local and international requirements,” he stated.
Professor Sraku-Lartey also indicated that the university intended to increase its student population to at least 3,000 in five years and establish a School of Agriculture, which will be backed by viable commercial agriculture.
In a speech read on his behalf, the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rt Rev Yaw Frimpong-Manso, called on the government to support the infrastructural development of the university to enhance teaching and learning.
