She is presently serving as an unpaid Special Advisor on Museums and Cultural Heritage to Ghana’s Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, where she is monitoring efforts to reform the museum system.

Her major focus is how to make museums relevant to all communities in Ghana, not just a select few, and to transform them into spaces where Ghanaians can see themselves reflected and have their views heard.

She’s traveled the length and width of the nation, speaking with fisherman, weavers, charcoal merchants, farmers, professors, and attorneys, among others, about what they want to see and do.

This will be depicted in a film that will be on Ghanaian television soon. She’s also assembled a team of legal, financial, and structural specialists to examine the present museum environment and propose reforms to establish museums that are appropriate for Ghana.

“Studying at Accra Metropolitan University is Very Flexible” – Success Michael, an International Student, Shares Her Experience

Published

on

In an era where students are increasingly seeking adaptable educational systems, Accra Metropolitan University (Accra Met) continues to stand out as a hub for flexible, career-friendly learning. Among its international student community is Success Michael, who is currently pursuing a degree in International Business Management. She shares how Accra Met’s flexible academic structure has empowered her to balance both work and studies seamlessly.

As a working student, Success faces the daily challenge of juggling academic responsibilities with professional duties. However, she credits Accra Met’s student-focused approach for helping her stay on course.

“Studying at Accra Met is very flexible, and that’s what drew me to the school,” Success shared. “I have the freedom to attend lectures that fit around my work schedule and complete my coursework without feeling overwhelmed.”

With weekend and evening classes, as well as online learning options, Accra Met enables students like Success to maintain full-time or part-time employment while pursuing higher education. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for adult learners and professionals who want to enhance their qualifications without putting their careers on hold.

One of the things Success appreciates most about Accra Met is the conducive learning environment and the responsiveness of lecturers to student needs. This supportive atmosphere has become a hallmark of the university, with faculty members often going beyond regular teaching hours to ensure students fully understand the course material.

Another major advantage, she notes, is the affordability of education at Accra Met. The installment payment system allows many students to pursue their academic ambitions without the financial burden that often deters others.

To prospective students concerned about managing their time or finances, Success offers this advice:

“If you’re looking for a place that offers flexibility, understanding lecturers, and affordable payment options, Accra Met is the best place to be. Don’t let your job stop you from chasing your academic dreams.”
