EMPOWERING GHANAIAN STUDENTS ABROAD: A MESSAGE OF IDENTITY AND PURPOSE
Introduction:
In a powerful gathering that bridged continents, I recently had the distinct honor of addressing our brilliant Ghanaian students at Huzhuo University in China’s Zhiajing Province. I delivered this message on behalf of the Honourable Haruna Iddrisu, Minister of Education, and the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), emphasizing the critical pillars of academic excellence and national pride.
Embracing Our Identity and Building the Future
Our discussion centered on the unique position our students hold as ambassadors of Ghana on the global stage. We emphasized the importance of staying true to our core Ghanaian values while pursuing academic ambitions. The key takeaways from our engagement were:
- Embracing Our Ghanaian Identity and Values: Your heritage is your strength. Wherever you go, carry the integrity, community spirit, and rich culture of Ghana with pride.
- Giving Back to Society and Uplifting Others: Your success is not for you alone. Remember to lift others as you climb, contributing your knowledge and skills to build a better Ghana.
- Building Bridges, Not Walls: See every challenge as a stepping stone and every interaction as a chance to foster understanding and collaboration between nations.
Our Ambassadors of Hope and Promise
Our students abroad represent the very hope and promise of our nation. By combining dedication with creativity and a strong sense of purpose, you are not just building your own futures; you are inspiring a generation and making a tangible difference in the world.
Let’s continue to shine brightly and show the world the excellence that Ghana embodies.
Dr. Munawaru Issahaque, Deputy Director General for Quality and Access, GES.
