Project Report | Aug 1, 2016
Palm Institute's Higher Education Project Report

By Dr. Peter Carlos Okantey | Founder & President

Dear Donors,

The 2015/2016 academic year successfully ended on 30th May 2016. The semester was filled with activities. Some of these include:

  • Career seminar series with industry experts;
  • Students trip to Commercial court in Accra;
  • Participation in the New Business Challenge by the Netherlands Embassy, Ghana;
  • The launch of our community service program and;
  • Refurbishment of the Palm Library

The recently ended semester marked the end of the two-year program for our first batch of students who were admitted in 2014. Plans are currently underway for our first graduation ceremony for the students.

Palm Institute is currently recruiting students for the upcoming academic year (2016/2017) which begins in August. The continuing students will be entering their second and final year at the Institute. So far, we have over forty (40) qualified and committed students for the upcoming academic year. Out of this number, twenty (20) are genuinely in need of financial aid-your kind support will be very much appreciated to find scholarship for these students. The remaining students are in the position to pay part of their fees – the other part will be paid for by NAPE Foundation.

We have added extra features to our campus facility in order to meet the accreditation requirements of the National Accreditation Board (NAB) of Ghana to enable us offer three-year degree programs. Unfortunately, we were not granted accreditation on the premise that we’ll need a bigger space located in an area outside our current location.

In view of the above, we are working on getting a new and improved campus (possibly build one) to enable us meet the accreditation requirements, thus adding more value to all that we do here at Palm Institute and more especially, offering greater opportunities for our students.

We would like to express our profound gratitude to all Donors whose support and donations have aided in advancing our cause. We greatly appreciate your generosity. It is our hope that you’ll continue to support Palm Institute through NAPE Foundation to make a difference in the lives of young people in Ghana.

Thank you!

Dr. Peter Carlos Okantey - President
