Accra Technical University has organised a workshop aimed at equipping students with practical knowledge on campus life, emotional intelligence, time management, personal development, and examination malpractice awareness.
The programme, held at the University Auditorium on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, brought together students, facilitators, and university officials to engage in discussions on building positive academic habits, improving interpersonal skills, and maintaining academic integrity.
Welcoming participants to the workshop, the Director of Guidance and Counselling, Dr. Evelyn Bentil, encouraged students to embrace change and remain open to opportunities that support their academic and personal development.
Speaking on time management and campus life, Mr. Kukubor Senanu advised students to avoid activities that negatively affect their productivity and to learn how to structure their daily routines effectively. He also emphasized the importance of building systems around their activities to improve consistency and academic performance.
Speaking on self-discovery and personal development, Mr. Awunyo Marvellous encouraged students to use their time on campus to identify their goals and shape the future they aspire to achieve.
Addressing participants on emotional intelligence, Mrs. Doku explained how students can control their emotions and build strong relationships both on and off campus. She further advised students to form study groups and identify their individual learning styles to enhance academic performance. She noted that some students learn better through visual methods such as pictures and videos, while others prefer different approaches.
The key highlight of workshop was the launch of the examination malpractice awareness campaign. Speaking during the session, Mr. Sam Joseph educated students on various forms of examination malpractice, including unauthorized copying, the use of electronic devices during examinations, and impersonation.
He further outlined the university’s examination regulations, stressing the importance of students presenting valid identification cards, arriving punctually for examinations, and following all official instructions. He also highlighted penalties associated with malpractice, including cancellation of papers, withholding of results, academic suspension, and expulsion.
The closing remarks, which were delivered by the GNUT Ambassador, encouraged students to apply the lessons gained from the workshop in both their academic and personal lives.
The programme formed part of Accra Technical University’s continuous commitment to promoting discipline, academic excellence, and responsible student conduct on campus.
