Delivering a session on effective Examination preparation, Ms. Vincentia Teye engaged students with practical techniques for studying, managing time, and confidently approaching their final exams.

She encouraged consistency and discipline as critical tools for success in the BECE.

On career pathways, particularly in Science and Engineering, Samuel Addai represented Mr Mahama, President of PUSAG, who guided students on choosing courses aligned with their strengths and future ambitions, while highlighting the growing importance of science and engineering-driven careers in today’s world.

Providing further insight into national development opportunities, Dr. Patrick Essien addressed students on the role of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and STEM in driving Ghana’s economic growth.

He urged participants to consider these fields as viable, innovative, and impactful career options.
