Caroline Group announces date for upcoming Africa Education Tour
International Boarding School Services (IBSS), a subsidiary of the Caroline Group under the leadership of Educationist, Caroline Esinam Adzogble has announced an upcoming Africa Education Tour.
Her organisation has grown to become a foremost international education advising organisation with excellent support strategies for students, international schools as well as other educational stakeholders; hence drawing partnerships from world class institutions across the globe.
The group is looking forward to consulting with families seeking boarding school opportunities abroad and had announced the dates for the upcoming Africa Education tour slated for November 23 to December 2, 2020.
According to Esinam Adzogble, the tour would allow African families seeking boarding school opportunities for their wards from ages 10 to 14 to be able to do so.
While the ripple effect of COVID-19 is still surging; Caroline assured that the tour was structured as a hybrid tour where boarding school representatives that are unable to travel down to Africa would be able to connect with families virtually.
Whiles it will be easier to just host it as a virtual event and have families connect as and when they could, Caroline stated that “I believe in perfectionism and coordination; most of all experience; so my team and I will be there to engage with all of these families and connect them to all these wonderful schools.”
Caroline who founded the major education conglomerate worked with education partners across over 70 countries.
“I work with so many wonderful partners with each bringing something very unique to the table and for African students; definitely they are all very special to me,” she said.
The prosecution has officially rested its case in The Republic v Solomon Asamoah & Another, the high-profile legal battle commonly referred to as the “Sky Train” case.
The Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem Sai announced the development, praising the state’s team of hard-working prosecutors for successfully anchoring the state’s evidence before the High Court.
The criminal trial centers on the former Chief Executive Officer and the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF).
The duo stands accused of illegally authorizing and paying out US$2 million to a foreign company without obtaining board directives or other mandatory statutory approvals.
State investigators have confirmed that the disbursed millions cannot be found.
Following the closure of the prosecution’s case, the accused persons moved the court for an opportunity to file a submission of no case.
The presiding judge granted the application, ordering the defense to submit their arguments by June 8.
The outcome of the June 8 filings will decide the fate of the trial:
With this, if the judge finds the defense’s submission convincing, the accused will be acquitted and discharged however, If the judge dismisses the submission, the court will order the accused officials to take the stand and explain why they should not face prison sentences.
