The University of Ghana is a public university located in Accra, [3] Ghana. It is the oldest public university in Ghana.

Contents

The university was founded in 1948 [4] as the University College of the Gold Coast [5] [6] in the British colony of the Gold Coast. It was originally an affiliate college of the University of London, [7] which supervised its academic programs and awarded degrees. [8] After Ghana gained independence in 1957, the college was renamed the University College of Ghana. [9] It changed it name again to the University of Ghana in 1961, when it gained full university status. [10]

The University of Ghana is situated on the west side of the Accra Legon Hills and northeast of the centre of Accra. It has over 60,000 registered students. [7]

Introduction

The original emphasis on establishing the University of Ghana was on the liberal arts, social sciences, law, basic science, agriculture, and medicine. [11] However, as part of a national educational reform program, the university's curriculum was expanded to provide more technology-based and vocational courses as well as postgraduate training. [12]

The University of Ghana, which is mainly based in Legon, about 12 kilometres northeast of the center of Accra, has its medical school in the town of Korle-Bu, with a teaching hospital and a secondary/external campus in the city of Accra. [12] It also has a graduate school of nuclear and allied Sciences at the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission, [13] making it one of the few universities in Africa offering programs in nuclear physics and nuclear engineering. [11]

University of Ghana Logo

The logo is made up of two colors: Indigo Dye and Camel. [14] The blue shield with three "AYA" standing upright in top half and "DWENINMENTOASO" in the middle of bottom half, all embossed in gold. [15] The logo was designed by A. M. Opoku. [16] "AYA" (Akan word for fern) is an Adinkra symbol. [17] The "AYA" grows straight and it is used here to represent truthfulness and an ability to stay upright.

Ram's Horns: 'Dweninmen' (Akan word for Ram's Horn) is an Adinkra symbol. [18] Here, two interlocking ram's horns (DWENINMENTOASO) have been used to symbolise strength and a call to pursue a path of integrity. [18] The University of Ghana was granted degree-awarding status in 1961.

History

The formation of the West African Commission of the Asquith Commission on Higher Education in the Colonies [19] under the chairmanship of Rt. Hon. Walter Elliot was the birth of this notable institution in 1948. [20] The commission recommended the setting up of university colleges in association with the University of London, thus the University College of the Gold Coast was founded by Ordinance on 11 August 1948 for the purpose of providing for and promoting university education, learning and research. [20] This was made possible by the rejection of the first recommendation which stated that only one university college was feasible for the whole of British West Africa, which would be located in Nigeria by the people of Gold Coast.

In the book commissioned by the University of Ghana, Professor Francis Agbodeka (1998) found that "Two members of the Legislative Council on their own volition worked on the question of securing funds for the project. More significant, F. M. Bourret (1949), in almost a contemporaneous account, reported that the strong and united opinion expressed by Dr. Nanka-Bruce in a Radio Station Zoy address to the People of the Gold Coast in October 1947, “was largely instrumental in influencing the Secretary of State for the colonies” to finally give his consent in 1947, “for the establishment of a Gold Coast university college.” [21]

Long before the advent of television, entire communities and groups would listen to news, sports, and entertainment, broadcast from Radio Station Zoy, the BBC, and other stations on the short wave radio band, to a single radio set.

Significantly, the establishment of the University of Ghana, based on the Elliot Commission's Majority Report (of which Sir Arku Korsah of the Gold Coast was a member), was the culmination of immense work of several organizations, committees, institutions, and prominent individuals, at home and abroad. Among some of the most prominent Ghanaians, members of organizations and civil society groups that campaigned for the establishment of the University of College of the Gold Coast/Ghana, included also Dr. Nanka-Bruce, Rev. Prof. C. G. Baeta, and Sir E. Asafu-Adjaye, Dr. J. B. Danquah, included. The Asantehene, Otomfuo Nana Agyemang Prempeh, II, agreed to the proposition after the Elliot Commission proposed establishment of a university in Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region. In sum, the Gold Coast citizenry, as a collective, successfully advocated for the establishment of the University College of the Gold Coast in association with the University of London, in 1948, after the Elliot Commission report, on which Sir Arku Korsah of the Gold Coast sat.

In 1961 the Government of Ghana under Kwame Nkrumah passed the University of Ghana Act, 1961 (Act 79) to replace the then University College of Ghana. Through that act, the university attained sovereign university status and mandate to award its own degrees. [22]
