Some lecturers sponsored by the Accra Polytechnic to pursue various PhD programmes have left the polytechnic for other public universities, the Rector of the polytechnic, Dr Sylvester Achio, has disclosed.
According to him, the lecturers have left the polytechnic in search of better conditions of service.
“It is sad to note that some lecturers who were previously granted scholarships to pursue various PhD programmes left us for other public universities to enjoy better conditions of service, after the polytechnic had spent so much to train them.
“We hope that these beneficiaries would act responsibly and desist from this unfortunate practice to enable them to stay to develop the polytechnic,” Dr Achio lamented at the 12th congregation of the polytechnic.
In all, 2,675 graduates were presented with High National Diploma (HND) certificates.
