Parliamentary Committee visits Ashesi campus

On July 17, thirteen members of Ghana's Parliamentary Select Committee on Education visited the Ashesi campus to learn more about our institution. Charged with oversight responsibility over all matters relating to Ghanaian education, the committee planned this visit as part of a general effort to determine both the achievements of various educational institutions and the challenges confronting them. Committee members were given a tour of campus facilities and discussed various issues with Ashesi administrators, ranging from the liberal arts curriculum and Ashesi's affiliations with US universities to gender balance and financial aid. Both Ashesi administrators and Committee members felt that the visit was very productive, and expressed their interest in maintaining a productive dialogue in the years to come.
