POLICY 201: ACADEMIC POLICY

      THE F.A.B.E AGENDA📚
〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

Health is defined as a state of complete physical, emotional and psychological wellness of a person and not just the abscence of diseases. Our focus as a team aligns with that of the Counselling unit which entails F-inancial, A-cademic B-ehavioural and E-motional stress alleviation.
This is where THE F.A.B.E AGENDA comes in.
——————————————————————————
OBJECTIVES
This initiative when rolled out will foster the funtion of the SRC-PEER COUNSELING UNIT. It will provide emotional comfort and therapy sessions for individuals struggling with issues outside their academic life.
——————————————————————————

IMPLEMENTATION
 1. The Samuel Sesah led SRC will feature the logo and contact of the Peer Counseling unit on every flier of the administration. This should make it easily accessible to students who need help and for students to get assistance for their colleagues.
 2. Budgetary allocation of funds for KNUST Peer Counsellors as approved by parliament.
 3. Education of students on the Confidentiality clause of the work of every counselor to encourage more frequent visits.
 4. Posting of the pictures, contact details and office details of all College counselors on College notice boards.
——————————————————————————

VISION
My vision for this initiative is to holistically address the emotional health needs of students and better foster an environment of healthy student living.
——————————————————————————

The #Defy_The_Odds agenda that I’m championing believes that the Emotional Health of students is something student leadership should make a topmost priority. Students must have all the guidance they need to aid them defy every odd against their lives and rise up to the occasion.
Join us, as we build a more responsive, collaborative and an empowered SRC that works for you.

Thank You.

The rainy season exacerbates the situation, transforming the roads into a maze of mud and deep potholes. Students are sometimes seen jumping on stones to avoid messing their shoes. During the dry season, the roads are marred by dust and uneven surfaces, making travel uncomfortable and hazardous.   For students off-campus, this means navigating treacherous paths daily, risking their safety and well-being in the process. Adding to the hazards are the open trenches, unsafe bridges and makeshift wooden structures over gutters.
