Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has urged Mfantsipim School to uphold the values established by its founders while equipping students to respond to the changing demands of the modern world.
She said technological advancements, scientific progress, climate change and evolving employment patterns had transformed the knowledge and skills young people needed to contribute meaningfully to society.
Speaking at the school's 150th anniversary celebration, she noted that today's students were growing up in a world vastly different from that which the school's founders encountered.
She stressed that while the institution must adapt its educational approach to meet emerging global demands, it should not compromise the fundamental values that had shaped its 150-year history.
"We know that the world our students are growing up in, and eventually work in, is vastly different from the world the founders of Mfantsipim faced. Technology, scientific advancement, climate change, and shifting employment patterns are redefining the knowledge and skills required to contribute meaningfully to society," she said.
"Yet, amidst these changes, we should never forget the fundamentals that the founders and successive leaders worked so hard to cultivate and preserve in students," she added.
