Introduction
CitiHigh Resources Limited is an educational resource development and educational services company with a strong mandate for capacity building for the 21st Century workplace.
Understanding that tertiary education has a strong place in capacity building for the 21st Century marketplace, and as parts of our overall strategy of meeting our mandate, we extended our services into international admission placements for the teeming Nigerian population who are searching for qualitative tertiary education.
Ghana tertiary institutions in the past few years are becoming an increasingly important tertiary education destination for Nigerian students for so many reasons too numerous to recount here. Therefore, we have set machinery in motion to help increase this traffic, provide stress free transition for students from their homes in Nigeria and to settle them well into satisfactory colleges and Universities in Ghana under a seamlessly managed process.
Thus, we have created a specialized package to help in school placement for potential tertiary students who desire to enroll in any of Ghana’s institutions. We render student placement services and provide support to student and their parents / sponsors.
We have taken time to study Ghana’s tertiary education sector and now pride ourselves as having a detailed knowledge of Ghana’s tertiary education sector, culture, socio-economic values and the needs of overseas students.
Working with Consultants with over (3) three years of experience in assisting students from Nigeria to pursue various academic courses in some of Ghana’s leading universities we, are poised to increase the scope of our activities and operations in this area.
Approaches
We adopt a combined multi-faceted dynamic approach in student placement by providing prospective students and their parents/ sponsors with detailed information on the various courses, fees, accommodation, laws and other relevant information for an enabling learning environment.
We are fully aware that securing a place in a Ghanaian university and thereafter settling quickly, safely and comfortably into life in Ghana can sometimes be difficult, uncertain, time consuming and stressful for students and their guardians. Thus, we provide support and facilitation services to overseas students, advising and assisting with their applications to universities, helping with immigration procedures, and enabling them to settle in Ghana with minimal difficulties. Importantly, we provide assistance to overseas students to enable them select suitable courses and appropriate universities, taking full account of their needs, qualifications, finances and career aspirations.
Cultural differences, lack of information, language restrictions and unfamiliarity with formal Ghanaian processes are the primary reasons why overseas students often encounter difficulties and delays at each of the steps along the route from preparing and submitting an application for admission to a university, to arriving in Ghana and thereafter settling down into student life. With these factors in mind we offer a comprehensive and enabling range of information, support and facilitation services for overseas students and their guardians. These services cover all aspects of university application, Ghana immigration, life in Ghana and student life.
