VIEW: A NEW DIRECTION, A NEW HOPE FOR STUDENTS.

VIEW DigiMark has been around for only a couple of months. Regardless, today marks the beginning of a new dawn.

The university can be very overwhelming. Studies, relationships, side hustles, sleep and others all come to get the better part of you. Unfortunately, our tertiary system offers a thin cushion. We know students at that level are the most burdened in the society: they oscillate between childhood and adulthood. Current model does not do enough to cope with the demanding needs of the world. Therefore, a different and improved approach is long overdue.

In the current system, students focus on getting the degree/certificate, that they forget about what matters: mastering the skill. Yes! One can pass with no extra effort in our universities, but is that the way to go? We may need to maximize the effectiveness of these institutions and that’s what VIEW seeks to achieve with this project.

Our maiden project comes with its three branches, under which all subsequent initiatives will align.

1. VIEW KNUST

2. VIEW NETWORK.

3. VIEW ACADEMY. 

VIEW KNUST

To be honest, people see clear-cut differences between our universities and those in other countries. How do we upgrade ours to ensure better tertiary experiences in coming generations? 

First, we have to improve the existing opportunities available to students. For instance, there are activities that facilitate better learning, but are not accessible to the majority. Making such practices a normal part of classroom experience will improve the students’ lives. Specific programmes have certain real-world updates that need to be previewed by our trainees. 

We also have to create the opportunities we never had. Have you ever seen a student’s research publications since you got admitted? At this age of time, research should be a common practice if we are serious about developing the next-generation workforce. Just imagine students are engaging in researches, for insights, problem solving or for government and private entities. We all can predict the result, right?  

Once we succeed in altering the student mentality and culture, VIEW is confident the measures will help create a better university experience and change how we see our universities.  Click here to read more about this sector.

VIEW NETWORK

It’s time to connect students on a different level. In this phase, it’ll be our mission to link students at the various sub-levels, such as programmes, departments, colleges, and admire how resources flow within the network.  

People admonish students to build connections with others on campus, but it’s not that simple. To be honest, most new people met are through the usual modes, such as group works, church activities and other social groups. VIEW would want to simplify this necessity, that even introverts will thrive in there. [Full details]

VIEW ACADEMY

Students’ talents and skills cannot remain unpolished, untapped and underrated. Something must be done if we really want the best out of them. In our dispensation, the student environment holds the key to development and we cannot be concerned only about how good they become academically. We’ve to target their well-being in all areas, including their special gifts.[Full details to be published soon]
