The Quality Assurance and Academic Planning Directorate of Koforidua Technical University on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, organized a stakeholders’ engagement session for teaching and administrative staff aimed at strengthening collaboration between faculty and administration.
The Vice Chancellor Prof. John Owusu, in his opening remarks called on all staff to take collective ownership of quality. He charged every unit to prioritize the student in every decision, and uphold the standards that define KTU.
Dr. Kofi Ashiboe-Mensah, Country Director of Exam Ethics Marshals International, Ghana, and former Head of Quality Assurance at Ho Technical University, served as the resource person. He highlighted key gaps in process integration and shared practical strategies for fostering a unified quality culture across departments in the university.
The session held under the theme “Internal Quality Culture and Process Integration: One Team, One Student Experience”, brought together teaching and non-teaching staff to address operational challenges and align practices around student-centered service delivery.
The session equipped staff to:
- Identify and close gaps in cross-departmental processes to improve service delivery
- Build stronger working relationships between academic and administrative teams
- Embed a student-centered approach in daily operations, from admission to graduation
- Align departmental practices with Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) standards for accreditation and reaccreditation
The session was attended by senior management, including Prof. John Owusu, Vice Chancellor, and Ms. Evelyn Fafa Adom, Registrar.
