The Principal of Amedzofe EP College of Education (AMECO), Dr Dickson Tsey, has advised newly matriculated students to desist from alcoholism, smoking, and betting, emphasising that these vices could negatively impact their academic journey and future aspirations.
Speaking at the 18th Matriculation Ceremony of the College, where 315 students were officially inducted, Dr. Tsey reminded them that AMECO has a strict code of conduct that all students must adhere to.
“I caution you against any practice that may jeopardize your academic and personal future. Remember, education is not just about acquiring knowledge but about transforming yourselves and the world around you,” he stated.
He urged the students to embrace discipline, focus on their studies, and make wise life choices that would contribute to their overall success.
Dr Tsey encouraged the fresh students to develop a lifelong learning mindset, quoting Albert Einstein: “Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death. Embrace every opportunity to learn, both inside and outside the classroom.”
He emphasised the importance of seeking guidance when needed, urging the students to build positive relationships with lecturers, mentors, and fellow students for academic and personal growth.
“Do not be afraid to seek help. Your lecturers, mentors, and colleagues are here to support you. Collaborate, share ideas, and create meaningful connections that will enrich your experience.”
He also challenged them to believe in themselves, reminding them that each individual has unique talents waiting to be developed.
“You possess unique talents and abilities that are waiting to be unleashed. Have confidence in yourself and remain committed to excellence.”
The Guest of Honour, Mr. Kpeli Worlasi, MP for Kwahu Afram Plains North and an alumnus of AMECO, urged the students to use this phase of their lives as a time for self-reflection and direction.
“This is a time in your life to reflect and reset your path for the future. Take things seriously, be intentional with your choices, and stay focused on your goals.”
He encouraged them to develop resilience, discipline, and time management skills, emphasising the need to use their time wisely and prioritize their studies.
“Be resilient in everything you do. Approach your studies with seriousness and discipline, making sure that every moment is used productively.”
The event was attended by faculty members, students, education officials, all of whom reaffirmed their support for the students’ academic and personal growth.
