These sessions covered critical topics such as university admissions, cut-off point requirements for various programmes, examination protocols and potential job prospects. During these engagements, students expressed their excitement at the knowledge gained as they actively participated in discussions with university officials. They also expressed interest in learning more about the programmes offered at UGKCC.
The outreach programme is set to continue with scheduled visits to additional Senior High Schools within the region to ensure that a broader spectrum of students benefit from this initiative.
