589 STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM THE GAMBIA COLLEGE
By Annia Gaye
The Gambia College, last Saturday, held its 24th Graduation Ceremony. 589 Students graduated from different fields ranging from Higher Teacher's Certificate (HTC), Primary Teachers Certificate (PTC), Early Childhood Development (ECD), State Registered Nurses (SRN) and Higher National Diploma in Environmental Health. The graduation ceremony was held at the Gambia College grounds in Brikama.
Delivering his introductory remarks, the Chairman of the Gambia College Council, Mr. Alpha. A Khan, said that since they took over the governing of the affairs of the college, they faced enormous challenges which needed urgent attention to enable the college to meet its mandate of producing manpower for the education, agriculture and health sectors.
He noted that the major challenge the college faced was the absence of a quality professional management structure that could attract and retain highly qualified and motivated staff who could provide relevant, quality and monitoring of the young professionals in Education, Agriculture and Health. He further noted that the college administration has been tasked to come up with a comprehensive budget to incorporate salary increases and other benefits for staff, this he said, will be predicated on the assumption that the college would be more innovative, develop demand driven courses and programmes. He urged the grandaunts to be patriotic, dedicated, disciplined and hardworking, as with these values they would be able to achieve the objectives and goals of vision 2020.
In his remarks, the guest speaker, Professor Andreas. L. Steigen, the vice chancellor of the University of the Gambia said Gambia College is an honourable institution with traditions and a focal point in education of the Gambia. He urged the grandaunts to maintain and develop their skills.
