The University of Guyana (UG) must open up itself to the wider society to help students become rounded, if it is to become the university it aspires to be, Vice Chancellor (VC) Professor Jacob Opadeyi said yesterday at an interfaith service that was held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the university’s ordinance.
Professor Opadeyi made the comment as he spoke about ways to move the university in the direction it needs to go.
He said that in order for stakeholders to make UG how they want it to be, they must not depend on government alone but encourage the international community to come on board and teach students how to sing, debate and swim, among other things, to make them rounded. The rest, he said, will be left to them.
“…If we are to make UG the university we want it to be, we need happy staff, happy students and good infrastructure.
