Another academic milestone has been achieved by the School of
Business, University of Education, Winneba (UEW) at the second edition of the
Tertiary Business Sense Challenge organised by Graphic Business in partnership
with the Ministry of Business Development and the Institute of Chartered
Accountants, Ghana.
The UEW School of Business placed fourth out of 19
participating institutions across the country. The Business School eliminated
well known institutions such as University of Professional Studies, Accra
(UPSA), Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) and
African University College of Communications (AUCC) at various stages of the
competition. The UEW team was beaten in the semi-finals by the eventual
winners, University of Development Studies (UDS).
The contest was to test the business knowledge of tertiary
students and how they could apply what they learn in school to real life
experiences.
On Wednesday, 11th March, 2020, the team paid a
courtesy call on the Vice-Chancellor, Rev. Fr. Prof. Anthony Afful-Broni to
report on its performances at the competition.

the third edition.

education in UEW to become future leaders of their alma mater. “Let us put in place systems that will
support them so that there is almost an automatic assurance of employment
immediately upon graduation.”

Accounting Student, Samuel Mawunyo Sovor; and level 300 Accounting Student,
