As part of the activities marking the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the University of Ghana, the School of Continuing and Distance Education (SCDE) held a faculty and staff durbar on Friday, 21st July, 2023, on the theme “75 years of University-based Adult and Continuing Education in Ghana, Sharing our Story.”

The purpose of the durbar was to tell the SCDE story, in terms of its establishment, challenges and successes. Past Directors, Deans and staff were invited to share untold stories and events that had unfolded during their tenure. Some of the past Directors and Deans who attended the function were Profs. Miranda Greenstreet, Kate Adoo-Adeku, Yaw Oheneba-Sakyi and Michael A. Tagoe.  These four past Directors and Deans formed a panel for discussion.

Giving the opening remarks, the Dean of the School Prof. Olivia A. T. F. Kwapong, thanked the past deans and directors, pensioners, faculty, and staff for gracing the occasion. According to her, it was necessary to tell the untold stories of the school to help us learn our history. She indicated that these stories shared will be documented in the School’s archives for future generations and will direct and guide the school to achieve its vision. She encouraged participants to listen with rapt attention and emulate the good virtues of their predecessors.
