THE University of Ghana (UG), Legon would from the 2008/2009 academic year offer courses relating to the Chinese language and culture.

To that end a Memorandum of Understanding between the UG and the Chinese Language Council in Beijing would be signed for the commencement of the programme.

The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof Clifford Nii Boi Tagoe has recently announced. Prof Tagoe said the Council would dispatch two Chinese teachers to the university in August this year to support the programme, and lauded the Chinese Embassy in Accra for facilitating such a move.

He mentioned that to enhance the role of UG as a global leader in higher education, a Visitation Panel had been invited to review the university’s academic and administrative structures and make recommendations, adding that the move would precipitate major changes to reflect the status of the leading university.
