According to the Commission, Central University demonstrated exceptional openness, professionalism, and a strong commitment to excellence throughout the assessment process. The management, faculty, and technical staff were commended for their warm reception, cooperation, and meaningful engagement, which enabled the assessment team to conduct a thorough and productive evaluation.
This achievement underscores Central University’s growing reputation as a forward-looking institution committed to advancing technical and vocational education, strengthening industry partnerships, and contributing to Ghana’s pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity. The implementation of the programme is expected to enhance practical training, equip students with industry-relevant competencies, and support national efforts toward self-sufficiency in pharmaceutical production.
