Al-Faruq College of Education in Wenchi, Bono Region, has held its 9th matriculation ceremony to officially welcome fresh students for the 2024/2025 academic year.
A total of 398 students were matriculated, comprising 47 pursuing a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) in Early Grade Specialism, 109 in B.Ed Primary Education, and 242 in B.Ed Junior High School (JHS) Education. The new cohort consists of 139 males and 259 females.
Addressing the matriculants, the Principal of the college, Mr. Sualiu Wahab, urged them to focus on their studies and refrain from negative behaviors that could derail their academic progress.
He emphasized the importance of adhering to the institution’s rules and regulations to ensure a smooth academic journey.
Mr. Wahab further advised students to be open-minded, time-conscious, and hardworking while also cautioning them against making inappropriate sexual remarks or physical advances. He stressed that education comes with responsibility and urged the students to avoid carefree and irresponsible attitudes.
Additionally, he encouraged the freshers to maintain decent appearances both within and outside the school environment and to uphold the integrity of the institution. “Let us avoid actions that could tarnish the image of a student or tutor, leading to victimization or falling prey to any form of sexual manipulation,” he emphasized.
