This collaboration brings together the public and private sectors to support the development of Ghana's human capital.
Speaking at the partnership agreement signing, Alex Apau Dadey, Group Executive Chairman of KGL Group, emphasized the significance of education in creating value and contributing to national development. He shared his personal experience of how his late father, Dr. Alex Dadey, was a distinguished educationist, further strengthening his appreciation for education as a key driver of opportunity and national development.
Helga J. M. Boadi, Executive Director of the GNPC Foundation, highlighted the value of public-private collaboration in addressing national development priorities. She noted that the GNPC Foundation has supported over 9,700 students through its national and international scholarship programs, with approximately 1,390 students currently enrolled under its national scholarship scheme. The partnership with the KGL Foundation will enable the GNPC Foundation to bring an additional 1,000 students into the scholarship program.
The GNPC Foundation's approach to educational development involves collaborations with institutions such as the Ghana Education Service and the Ministry of Education. This ensures that educational investments go beyond infrastructure and contribute to stronger learning environments and improved opportunities for students to thrive. The partnership with the KGL Foundation will enhance these efforts and create a more significant impact.
The KGL Foundation has supported over 300 students and continues to develop partnerships that expand access to educational opportunities.
