Ghana’s development journey received a renewed call to action as the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) celebrated 2,131 graduates during the third day of its 30th Congregation on Friday, 28th November 2025. The ceremony, held at the Jophus Anamuah-Mensah Conference Centre, brought together graduates from the Faculties of Social Sciences Education, Liberal and Social Studies Education, and Foreign Languages Education.
In a stirring address, the Chancellor, Neenyi Ghartey VII, used the national platform to urge collective responsibility in confronting one of Ghana’s most pressing challenges: the destructive impact of illegal mining. He reminded the nation that safeguarding the environment is an obligation shared by all—and that the future depends on courageous citizens willing to protect the country’s natural heritage.
The Chancellor also noted key leadership transitions within UEW, underscoring the University’s commitment to effective governance and continuous improvement. These changes, he said, are essential to strengthening the institution’s role in shaping the next generation of educators and thought leaders.
Speaking directly to the graduates, Neenyi Ghartey VII issued a powerful challenge: to become innovators, problem-solvers, and nation-builders. He emphasized that Ghana’s progress requires graduates who are not only academically prepared, but also socially conscious, solutions-driven, and ready to contribute meaningfully to national development.
This moment serves as more than a celebration of academic achievement—it is a call to action for the entire nation. As UEW’s newest graduates take their place in society, their success becomes a reminder that education is one of the strongest tools for addressing national challenges, inspiring positive change, and accelerating development.
The charge is clear: Ghana needs leaders who will rise, act with integrity, and work for a brighter, more resilient future.
