Welcoming guests, Prof. Alatinga described the occasion as deeply personal and symbolic, noting that he graduated from the same institution 27 years ago and was now presiding over the ceremony as Principal. According to him, the quality of any nation’s education system ultimately depends on the quality of its teachers. He linked the theme to national efforts such as the Ghana National Research Fund, emphasizing that research enables teachers to understand learner needs, test new teaching strategies and continuously improve classroom practice. Prof. Alatinga highlighted Mount Mary College of Education’s legacy as a pioneer institution in the training of French teachers and one of the country’s respected teacher training colleges. He also announced the reintroduction of regular seminar presentations to deepen research culture, alongside expanded activities by the College’s Research Unit.
