THE GHANAIAN YOUTH IS CAPABLE

Day in and day out the Ghanaian youth is seen as a symbol of incompetent and incapable.why? because we have the notion that Ghanaian youths are very lazy. One fundamental question we should ask when people begin to raise such an insensitive notion is, what system have we put in place to make such the youths detonate their capabilities? Or play their role in building a sustainable economy and the country at large. Inspite of all these stereotype and misconceptions about the youths in this country, we have seen a lot of them excelling in their leadership position in most government and private institutions.
The underlining factor is our education which suppose to be the sustainable tool or the avenue has been reduce to the contest of just passing examination with no practical approach.
We always hear our leaders say we are the future of this country which at a time in point I found it hard to believe. Now the question is when is the future? The future is now and everything attest to the fact that Ghanaian youths are capable of redefining and managing their own affairs if given the opportunity or when we put better systems in place.

Dear Ghanaian youth never place any limitation on yourself because of what has been circulating in the media space or some parliamentarians have been saying. But rather radiate that spirit of optimism. Start the business, make that bold step, persue that dream and believe that with determination, desire, derive, dedication, discipline and hardworking you will get there. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes because it is part of our existence and you can’t run away from it when you say yes to life. “YOU ARE CAPABLE”

IT IS A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY

We always complain bitterly about the happenings in this school, if not management doing what we want, it will be school fees or cleaners not been able to carry out their responsibilities as it is intended to be. But have we ask ourselves what we can also do to make our stay here better and effective. In our quest of making here the academic hub and our home, we should recognise that it is a collective effort or we have a role to play as well as the management.

We always complain about the astronomical increase of school fees but there are certain things we are not doing right which has led to such an increment. For example, we go to class leaving the, AC, fan and other electronic gadgets on forgetting that this ineptitude attitude will surely compel the management to increase utility bills to meet the demands of the consumption rate. We all know it is the responsibility of the cleaners to ensure that our surroundings are clean and conducive but some students will deliberately litter the environment and lecture rooms expecting the cleaners to come and clear such mess because they have been paid to do so.

We have a role to play as students so let make sure we discharge our responsibilities or do our part before we rise to the majestic height to blame the management, SRC, various associations and the lecturers.

We are the stakeholders of this reputable institution and that means this institution lies on our discretion. Let be proud of this institution, sometimes some students talk as if KAAF is not a recognised institution but at the end of the day, we all can not go to UDS, GIMPA or KNUST for our tertiary certificate even though KAAF is affiliated to them. On a more serious note KAAF will award us our degree. Why can’t we be proud of this institution and make it a better place for others to join? I always say that KAAF is a home not because of the walls around it but the calibar of people inside.
