The Deputy Minister for Education, Dr Clement Apaak, has called on Africa Centres of Excellence (ACE) to work towards creating a brighter future for Africa's higher education.
Speaking at the closing session of the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the Africa Centres of Excellence (ACE) at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra, Dr Apaak stated that in the spirit of collaboration and collective progress, "I urge us all to depart from the celebrations of the last two days with a renewed commitment to engage with each other and work towards the program's financial and institutional sustainability. "Let us harness the momentum generated during this conference to drive meaningful change and propel Africa's development.
Together, we can create a brighter future for Africa's higher education sector and, by extension, the continent's economic and social development." Ghana's Deputy Education Minister commended the distinguished Ministers and other high-level delegates who made time to join the conference in Accra. "I would like to further extend special appreciation to all the governments of the participating countries, the World Bank management and team, the French Development Agency (AFD), the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD), the Association of African Universities (AAU), and the Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA) for their unwavering support and guidance throughout the 10-year journey of the ACE program.
Your commitment to excellence and dedication to the program's success have been invaluable," Dr Apaak stated.
