A distinguished Professor at the State University of New York, ‘University of Buffallo’, Stephen Jacobson is calling on educational institutions in the country to be driven by a desire to develop the Ghanaian society and not to make profit.
Prof. Jacobson explained that a 21st century educational institution must be one that engages the community in achieving its full potentials and not how to make profit.
According to him, institutions driven towards the communitarian module instead of a business module are that which is needed to improve educational standards and affords institutions the opportunity to contribute to their communities.
Prof. Jacobson stressed the important role of parents in the development of school management, calling for a collaborative effort of all in maintaining a high standard of academic discipline and integrity in the school organisation.
Professor Jacobson made the remarks in an exclusive interview with Ultimate News’ Central regional correspondent Kwaku Baah-Acheamfour after he delivered a presentation at a seminar at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) organised by the institute for educational planning and administration in partnership with the school of Educational development and outreach.
Speaking on the development of institutions of higher learning, Prof Jacobson said Universities should not be money conscious but rather focus first on how to impact and engage the communities in which they are situated.
Without denying the need for institutions of higher learning to generate income, Prof. Jacobson believes that should not be the primary focus.
