Kojo Yankah, the founder of the African University College of Communications (AUCC), now known as the African University of Communications & Business (AUCB), has urged Ghana's Ministry of Education to initiate policies that will place greater emphasis on African-centered education in schools to help promote Africa and its rich heritage.
The educationist and Pan-Africanist, Kojo Yankah, stressed that Africa's development will be faster if its education is rooted in its history, identity, culture, and heritage. "We need to ground our development in our lost heritage and achievements.
We should deepen our research-based orientation and make it a critical part of our mission going forward," he said.
Kojo Yankah made these comments during a media briefing at the launch and renaming ceremony of the institution, which started as the African Institute of Journalism (AIJC) in 2002, was accredited in 2004 as the African University College of Communications (AUCC), and is now rebranded as the African University of Communications & Business (AUCB).
