The Bolgatanga Polytechnic has addressed all the deficiencies that made it miss out in the first assessment for its conversion into a Technical University and Is ready for conversion this is according to the acting rector of the school, Prof. Samuel Alnaa.
Speaking at the school’s 6th congregation over the weekend, Prof. Samuel Alnaa indicated that “It is clear that Bolgatanga Polytechnic is more than ready for conversion into a technical university. We have addressed all the deficiencies that made us miss out in the first assessment in July 2015”.
He said “We are ready for the team to reassess the Polytechnic for conversion to a technical university, and wish the Minister for Education, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, could make a pronouncement when the institution will be converted into a technical university….We are therefore making a clarion call to get the Bolgatanga and Wa polytechnics converted into technical universities”.
He indicated that the school has bought and installed a multi-media and engineering equipment and well as laboratory equipment to ensure quality hands-on technical university education and therefore there was the need for the school to be converted to a Technical University.
The Rector noted that since the school failed in the conversion to a University, enrolment for the various courses have been affected and there was, therefore, the need to convert the school to help make it the first choice of students.
