On 18th April, 2018, Lancaster University Ghana (LUG) hosted the 2018 edition of the annual How to Master Education Conference for High School Principals and Counsellors in Ghana. The conference held at LUG’s A&C Mall Campus was attended by over 50 High School Principals and Counsellors from about 24 public and private high schools in Ghana.
This annual conference is designed to provide participants with a rewarding experience in a lively intellectual interaction with other Principals and Counsellors, as well as to deepen their understanding of current practices in the field of leadership. It aims to help participants to further develop themselves as professionals so that they can contribute to the development of their students and the society at large.
This year’s edition, with the theme ‘Leadership Practice in Developing High Performing Schools’ was facilitated by Associate Professor Cynthia Forson, the Deputy Provost of LUG, and Johan Claasen, the LUG Foundation Programme Coordinator. The Keynote Speaker was Dr Ken Darvall, the Principal of Tema International School (TIS), with and second speaker was Professor Anthony Jarvis, the LUG Provost.
The day was full of interactive discourse between the Heads of Schools and the Counsellors who spent the morning together, and exchanged ideas and experiences. In the afternoon the participants were divided in two groups, and the Deputy Provost led a session for the High School Principals, while the Foundation Programme Coordinator led the session for the Counsellors.
