The Kumasi Technical University (KsTU) has offered admission to a total of 10,667 new students to pursue various programmes of studies for the 2024/2025 academic year.
The freshers comprise 6,946 males representing 65.2 percent and 3,721 females (34.8 percent).
Professor Gabriel Dwomoh, the Vice-Chancellor, who announced this last Friday at the 33rd Matriculation ceremony in Kumasi, said the number involved 10,339 undergraduates, 259 postgraduates and 69 international students for this year.
Prof Dwomoh reminded the students that the matriculation oath signified a contract between the students and the University and that breaking such commitment could jeopardize their academic progression.
He said the institution, as a leading Technical University in Ghana, maintains high academic standards and would not compromise the goals to achieve excellence.
The Vice-Chancellor advised the students to be responsible and build useful networks in positioning themselves to higher academic accomplishments.
Prof. Dwomoh admonished the students to use social media wisely, describing the space as a “hydra-headed monster” which has the tendency to shift students focus from the goal for which they were in school.
“While we concede that social media is a very useful avenue for information, it should be borne in mind that by the same token, it could also be a potent recipe for brewing misinformation and disinformation.
