The North Legon Little Campus (NLLC) an international school located in the serene residential area of North Legon, held its colorful graduation ceremony at the school’s campus on Thursday, 4th July 2019.

The theme for the occasion: “Developing the Potentials of Students to Face the Challenges of Tomorrow”, according to the Guest Speaker Prof. Clifford N.B Tagoe, former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Legon, could not have been more appropriate for the times and perhaps for the years ahead.
Professor Tagoe said the security of pupils and students had come to the front banner given the recent cases of kidnapping and other crimes in the country. He however noted, that all is not doom and gloom in today’s world, as one can see positive developments such as technological advances and inventions of mobile phones, tablets and Ipads, which allows us to live easier lives. He also encouraged students to study hard as a few years from now robots will be competing with humans for their jobs.
He further encouraged teachers to identify the talents in the students and embrace purposeful teaching and learning to assist students to identify where they can perform best, based on their natural aptitude or inmate interest. The utmost aim is to seek to develop the total child.
Prof. Tagoe also advised the IGCSE graduates who would entering the sixth form to embrace Global Awareness, Financial and Entrepreneurial Literacy, Environmental Literacy etc., as well as Learning and Innnovation, Media and Technology, Life and Career Skills.
