Official Statement on the Deferment of Over 170 UEW Students for International Travel in 2025
The University of Education, Winneba (UEW) acknowledges the recent development in which over 170 students have deferred their courses in 2025 to travel abroad in pursuit of various opportunities. This trend underscores the increasing interest among students in exploring international experiences for academic, professional, and personal growth.
As a leading institution committed to providing quality education and shaping future leaders, UEW recognizes that students may seek global exposure for diverse reasons. Some may pursue further studies in prestigious institutions abroad, while others may explore employment prospects, internships, or cultural exchange programs that offer valuable real-world experiences. The university respects the choices of its students and remains dedicated to supporting them in making informed decisions about their educational and professional paths.
However, while the institution understands the motivations behind these deferments, it also emphasizes the importance of completing academic programs within the stipulated time. Deferment can have significant implications for students’ academic progress, and we strongly encourage those considering such decisions to engage with academic advisors and university administrators to understand the full impact of their choices.
UEW has established clear guidelines and procedures for students who wish to defer their courses. These processes ensure that students can return to continue their studies seamlessly when they are ready. The university urges all affected students to comply with these guidelines to avoid any disruptions to their academic records.
Additionally, the university is closely monitoring this trend to assess its broader impact on academic continuity and institutional planning. UEW remains committed to creating an academic environment that provides competitive opportunities locally, reducing the necessity for students to seek such prospects elsewhere. Through partnerships with international institutions and organizations, UEW continues to explore avenues for students to gain global exposure without compromising their academic progression.
While we celebrate the ambition and drive of our students to seek opportunities beyond Ghana’s borders, we also encourage them to consider the long-term benefits of completing their programs as scheduled. UEW stands ready to offer guidance, resources, and support to ensure that students make well-informed choices that align with their academic and career aspirations.
The university remains committed to its mission of delivering quality education and training, equipping students with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in both local and global contexts. We wish all our students success in their endeavors, whether at UEW or beyond.
