GLICO Group Limited has generously donated to the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) in support of the University’s Faculty-Authored Book Initiative.
The initiative, a visionary project by the Vice-Chancellor of UPSA, Professor John Mawutor, seeks to promote indigenous knowledge by empowering UPSA faculty members across various disciplines to develop and produce locally relevant textbooks that reflect Ghana’s context, values, and expertise.
The donation, made on Tuesday, November 4, further underscores GLICO’s commitment to advancing higher education and promoting locally developed academic resources.
Speaking at the presentation, Group CEO of GLICO, Mr. Edward Forkuo Kyei, commended the local textbook development initiative, describing it as “laudable and progressive”.
He expressed GLICO’s willingness to collaborate with UPSA to ensure the successful implementation of the project, which he said aligns with national efforts to promote knowledge creation and self-reliance.
Professor Samuel Antwi, who received the cheque on behalf of the University, expressed appreciation to GLICO Group for the generous support and partnership.
He noted that the initiative will ensure that students are taught with relevant, locally developed materials that enrich their learning experience and strengthen their appreciation of Ghanaian business and professional practice.
“By investing in indigenous academic content, UPSA and GLICO are fostering a culture of knowledge ownership and sustainable education, ensuring that future generations of students benefit from course materials developed by Ghanaian scholars, for Ghana and beyond.”
