Richard Amoh, KNUST SRC PRO 2019/20 Academic Year “WE ARE NOT IN NORMAL TIMES”. (FINAL YEAR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ARE ALSO NOT IN NORMAL TIMES TOO!) Under an ‘unfree’ umbrella of living, today, I want to share my thoughts and seek the application of the ‘mantra’ “we are not in normal times” towards final year university students in Ghana too. I wouldn’t hesitate to share my condolences to the family of George Floyd, the black man who was murdered unarmed by white police officers at Minneapolis in the US. This is ugly and must be frowned at with no scintilla of justification of the act of the police men. I would also want to urge all to avoid various discriminatory acts of racism, tribalism and toxic ethnocentrism too. These are all not! Fast forward, I wouldn’t want to add too much flesh to the gum of my inputs in this piece in order not to bore my readers today. Indeed, we are not in normal times. Covid-19 has really been a torn in the already tearing flesh of people all ov...

Benedicta Tiwaa Amankwah I am Benedicta Tiwaa Amankwah, a student at the ever prestigious university named after Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah - KNUST, reading Geography and Rural Development. In as much as no human being can predict the end of this Pandemic, it should not  come as an opportunity cost of education, especially one that has been paid for. There should be a way out to help Students gain knowledge in this Pandemic. Until a Vaccine is discovered, life and education can not be at stand still. There should be a way to resume the normal life we use to have but this time with a keen interest in protecting ourselves. When you look at other countries outside the continent and within the continent, there have been some effort that gears toward reopening of schools. This should be a yardstick to prove to us as a nation that it is something that is possible. One reason some educational scholars are giving is the use of online platform for studies to complement what we used...

This Saturday on KwameTEK diaries will be the reality most young graduates face after school. Few weeks ago a thread popped up on Twitter concerning one Miss Deborah Laryea, a first class Environmental Science student who now moves from houses to shops to braid people's hair in search of her daily bread. A tweet from one @EdwardAsare reveal the ordeal the Technocrat had to go through before she could afford something little for her self after she completed her National Service in 2019 with Ghana Manganese Company Ltd as a Health Safety and Environment officer. Pathetic enough, the young graduate revealed how hard her daily source of income becomes at times even though she keeps hoping that things will work best one day. " I imagine it and my hands replicate my imagination. Because it is home service that I do mostly, I get as low as GHC 25 ” . She also stated that there are times she doesn’t get any customer for a whole week but she’s still hopeful and has a positive mi...

The Streets of Accra  Roaming on the streets of Accra amidst unseen faces due to the “nose mask agenda” which hit every world because of the pernicious novel coronavirus with a double-edged feeling about how the enunciated “new normal” will be an impediment to the great future of generations yet to come. In the thick of a malevolent COVID -19, a pandemic that has brought the world to a near standstill and got countries including if not all but most of the world’s great countries to lockdown either fully or partially to be able to contain the spread of the virus. Some portions of Ghana, a developing West African country along the Gulf of Guinea that had recorded cases of the virus had to be locked down partially. Schools in all parts of Ghana had to be closed and a ban placed on social gatherings as this virus spreads rapidly through contact with an infected person. A conversation with my good friend Samuel Atta Poku drew my atte...
