Engineering Africa's Future Through Technical Education

Vice-Chancellor (Designate) Accra Technical University (ATU)

I

n the quiet corridors of the technical universities of Africa, there's an energy that's beginning to form and develop; but not through great noise or events, rather within laboratories busily researching methods to generate clean electric energy, in classrooms filled with dialogue about artificial intelligence and in workshops of young engineers developing new products and finding solutions to problems that have existed for many years on the African continent. This metamorphosis will create a need for leaders capable of interpreting both circuit boards and business models as easily as they interpret balance sheets, and recognising that Africa's industrial future is not only dependent upon engineers trained abroad but on homegrown engineering talent as well.

In Ghana, one such leader has been quietly rewriting the script of technical education. For fifteen years, he has transformed Accra Technical University from a modest teaching institution into a powerhouse of applied research and innovation. He doesn't chase headlines or court controversy. His weapon is consistency- the relentless pursuit of excellence through measurable action. His name is Engr. Prof. Amevi Acakpovi. He embodies a truth that Africa's brightest minds have always known: technical education, when done right, becomes the fastest route from poverty to prosperity.

anticipate future industry needs and prepare institutions today for opportunities that will emerge tomorrow. This forward-looking approach transforms universities from reactive institutions into proactive engines of economic development.

Transforming ATU's Academic Foundation The numbers tell part of the story. Prof. Amevi secured full accreditation for thirteen Master's programs and twentyseven new four-year BTech programs. Enrolment surged past twelve thousand students. ATU now ranks fourth in Ghana and among the top technical universities in SubSaharan Africa according to Times Higher Education Rankings. But numbers alone miss the deeper transformation.

He rebuilt ATU's research infrastructure from the ground up. The Research Commons he established serves as the university's intellectual hub. ATU's visibility in Scopus and Web of Science expanded dramatically. Research governance structures now ensure quality and relevance.

The institutional Research Bulletins and Annual Research Reports document contributions to national development.

These initiatives elevated ATU from primarily teaching students to actively solving Ghana's challenges in energy, technology, and sustainable development.

The Service Philosophy Prof. Amevi's leadership rests on a deceptively simple foundation: leadership is service, and service must produce measurable transformation. This isn't motivational rhetoric borrowed from management seminars. It's a working philosophy forged through his journey from lecturer to Vice-Chancellor (Designate) at Accra Technical University (ATU), where every promotion brought expanded responsibilities and deeper commitment.

He operates through three interconnected principles.

Excellence with impact ensures that academic work strengthens national relevance. Innovation with purpose guarantees that new programs directly address unemployment and technology shifts. Discipline with empathy balances high standards with fairness and respect.

These principles don't hang on office walls as decorative statements. They drive decisions about curriculum design, faculty recruitment, infrastructure investment, and student support.

His vision of leadership extends beyond institutional boundaries. He believes African higher education must

Leadership is not about titles or positions. It's about service that produces measurable transformation. Every role I've held has been an opportunity to solve problems and create pathways for others to thrive.”

His student-centered reforms reveal his understanding that technical education must develop complete professionals.

Expanded IGF-funded scholarships opened doors for vulnerable students. More field trips connected classroom theory to industrial reality. Innovation competitions unleashed creative problem-solving. Improved library digital access democratized knowledge. The pioneering Virtual Internship Programme addressed placement challenges by creating digital pathways to industry experience.

Campus stability enables academic excellence. Prof. Amevi maintained a strike-free environment through transparent communication and timely allowances. He introduced institutional insurance systems and strengthened financial discipline without stifling innovation. This peaceful atmosphere allows faculty and students to focus on their core mission rather than constant disruptions.

Infrastructure modernization transformed the physical learning environment. Smart classrooms embrace digital pedagogy. Regenerated laboratories support cutting-edge experiments. A new university clinic safeguards health.

Solar installations demonstrate sustainability commitments.

A six-story student housing project addresses accommodation challenges. These investments reflect his belief that world-class education requires world-class facilities.

Redefining Technical Education Prof. Amevi brings rare credentials to educational leadership. His research portfolio includes over one hundred thirty peer-reviewed publications on hybrid renewable energy systems, microgrid optimization, and AI applications in energy. This work places him among the top three per cent of scientists in Ghana. He speaks from authority when discussing where technology is heading and what skills students will need.

He champions technical and vocational education and training as the backbone of Africa's industrial transformation. His industry-driven curriculum reform led to the development of a 4IR and sustainability-oriented framework now being adopted nationally. This ensures graduates understand not just current technologies but emerging ones shaping the next decade.

Africa's future will not be built by importing foreign expertise. It will be built by nurturing homegrown talent in our technical universities, empowering young engineers to solve the challenges our continent has faced for decades.”

Competency-based training anchors his educational philosophy. Practical skills, design thinking, and problemsolving remain central to teaching. Graduates apply their knowledge immediately rather than requiring extensive retraining. The Sustainable Energy Service Centre, Drone Training Centre, Career Centre, and Centre for Entrepreneurship and Incubation Services provide hands-on learning environments where students tackle real challenges.

Enhanced online teaching capabilities expanded ATU's reach beyond physical boundaries. The AFOS DigiCap Centre and CEIS support digital innovation among students and entrepreneurs. New programs in information systems and technology are expanding into cybersecurity and digital engineering specializations. Across all programs, he mainstreamed modules on cloud computing, Internet of Things, and data analytics, ensuring every graduate possesses foundational digital literacy.

His international leadership amplifies ATU's impact. As President of the IEC National Committee of Ghana, Chair of AFSEC TC77 on Electromagnetic Compatibility, and President of ARSO TC70 on Solar Thermal Systems, he promotes continental technical standards ensuring African professionals compete globally. These roles bring global perspectives directly into ATU's academic programs.

Preparing Complete Professionals Technical knowledge forms only part of what students need.

Prof. Amevi's holistic preparation model exposes students to real industry challenges through field trips, internships, and applied projects connecting theory with workplace reality. Ethical training ensures students combine competence with integrity.

Digital Transformation Strategy Prof. Amevi recognizes digital transformation as essential for institutional relevance. His strategy balances digital infrastructure, digital literacy, and digital governance.

Library services now run digitally, integrating advanced databases like Dimensions that connect students to cuttingedge research. AI literacy training ensures the university community understands technologies reshaping every industry.

Innovation competitions, hackathons, and exhibitions develop creativity and collaborative problem-solving. The Career Centre provides soft skills and employability training, helping students present themselves effectively.

Entrepreneurship education enables job creation rather than just job seeking, addressing Africa's unemployment challenge. Mentorship programs connect students with industry leaders and alumni who provide guidance and open doors.

This comprehensive approach produces graduates who are technically skilled, emotionally intelligent, globally aware, and adaptable. This is exactly what employers across Africa need.

Strategic Partnerships

I believe that Technical and Vocational Education and Training is the backbone of Africa's industrial transformation.

When we get TVET right, we create not just employees but innovators and job creators.”

Prof. Amevi has mobilized over USD 2.3 million in grants and partnerships. His collaboration with the Design and Technology Institute on a GHS 2.9 million project modernized welding laboratories. The ACTIVATE Ghana program, supported by Mastercard Foundation with GHS 600,000, strengthened youth skills development.

Partnerships with Marriott Hotel, Metrohm Switzerland, Jospong Group, and Abrantie College offer industrial training and collaborative research. International collaborations with Nanjing University in China, ISLA Togo, SUNY Canton in the United States, and several European institutions expanded student mobility and joint research.

The Sustainable Energy Service Centre's partnerships with Millennium Challenge Account Ghana, GIZ, and the Energy Commission enable professional energy auditing serving national development. These partnerships enhance employability, innovation capacity, and global exposure.

All decisions are anchored to the university's strategic plan and national priorities, ensuring consistency through leadership transitions.

Leading Through Transition

For Prof. Amevi, inclusivity is non-negotiable. Expanded scholarship schemes ensure financial barriers don't prevent talented students from accessing quality education.

Disability-friendly infrastructure across campus removes physical barriers. Targeted outreach and mentorship programs strengthen female participation in engineering and STEMD fields, challenging stereotypes about technical careers.

As Vice-Chancellor (Designate), Prof. Amevi balances transitional leadership's unique challenges. He focuses on continuity, institutional memory, and strategic prioritization.

Rather than pursuing dramatic changes that might destabilize the institution, he strengthens systems rather than personalities, ensuring good practices outlast individual leaders.

Effective delegation and team empowerment maintain momentum on multiple fronts. He engages actively with the University Council, staff unions, and student bodies to build alignment. Transparent communication reduces uncertainty.

Advancing Inclusivity

Flexible learning pathways, including evening and weekend programs with plans for distance education, accommodate students balancing education with work or family.

Community-focused centers like SESC and CEIS provide training for artisans, technicians, and youth outside formal academic streams. Technical education becomes a bridge to opportunity for all.

Global Positioning Prof. Amevi envisions ATU as a Pan-African and globally connected technical university. He deepens partnerships with institutions in Asia, Europe, and America while developing joint degrees, staff exchanges, and collaborative research. His leadership roles in IEC, AFSEC, and ARSO position ATU to influence global standards rather than merely following them.

The university regularly hosts international conferences bringing global experts to Accra, raising ATU's profile while exposing students and faculty to cutting-edge developments. Student mobility programs through Erasmus+, British Council, and German AWA initiatives provide international experiences broadening perspectives and building networks.

His goal is making ATU a continental reference point in applied research, TVET innovation, and industry collaboration.

Leadership Disciplines Strategic reading and continuous learning keep Prof. Amevi current in emerging technologies despite heavy administrative demands. Structured planning and disciplined execution prevent good ideas from remaining

intentions. Mentorship from senior academics and engineers across Africa provides guidance during challenges.

Deep commitment to fairness, data-driven decisions, and accountability guides his interactions. His engineering background trains him to approach institutional problems as systems requiring integrated solutions. This systematic thinking prevents solving one problem while creating others.

strategic yet flexible, visionary yet grounded. His bilingual fluency in English and French facilitates cross-cultural collaboration. Deep faith in young people's potential drives his commitment to creating opportunities.

He has delivered over forty international keynote speeches while maintaining active research. Recognition includes national SDG Awards, the SolarQuarter Grandmaster Award, and distinguished professorships. Yet accolades haven't diminished his focus on daily institution-building work.

Vision for the Future A Legacy Measured in Transformation Prof. Amevi believes several shifts will redefine African higher education. AI-driven teaching will personalize learning. Competency-based, modular pathways will replace rigid semester systems. Green energy programs will address environmental challenges. Internationalized curricula will prepare students for careers transcending borders. Entrepreneurship embedded across disciplines will cultivate job creators.

ATU is preparing by expanding digital infrastructure, introducing 4IR-focused programs, strengthening research capacity, promoting innovation culture, and building global partnerships. Prof. Amevi aims for ATU to lead Africa's transition into a skills-driven, technologically-enabled knowledge economy.

The Human Element Beyond credentials and achievements, Prof. Amevi is known for his calm demeanor and approachable nature.

Colleagues describe him as disciplined yet empathetic,

Prof. Amevi represents African leaders refusing to accept that the continent must lag in technological development and educational quality. Through fifteen years at Accra Technical University, he has demonstrated that technical education can be rigorous and accessible, globally competitive and locally relevant, tradition-respecting and future-oriented.

His legacy will be measured in graduates entering industries with needed skills, research solving real community problems, and partnerships positioning ATU as a serious global player. He continues leading with a singular mission: serving with integrity, inspiring innovation, and building an institution empowering Africa's next generation of engineers, technologists, entrepreneurs, and leaders. In doing so, he engineers not just a better university but a more prosperous future for Ghana and the continent.

The Impact of Visionary Leaders on Modern Business

L

eadership has been central to business success in recent years, as rapid technological change, intensifying global competition, and profound societal shifts have fundamentally reshaped the business landscape. Companies have to face uncertainty, disruption and constant change in their environments nowadays. The indelible mark of visionary leaders is however, clearly visible and their influence has become more significant.

These leaders not only oversee the operations and give the numbers for a short period of time, rather they create, communicate and live the exciting future, motivate stakeholders and integrate the strategy with the long-term purpose. The power of visionary leaders in the present-day business spreads over strategy, culture, innovation and resilience. Through their vision of the future, they anticipate trends and create new markets which is the way they determine how companies grow, compete and stay relevant.

It is also the case that they have the ability to executing the vision at the same time which gives the freedom to the companies to go beyond incremental improvements and embark on radical transformations. When companies are facing problems such as digital disruption, sustainability, workforce transformation, the role of visionary leadership has become the core of success over .

Long-Term Strategic Vision Visionary leaders enable organizations to adjust their strategic direction by looking beyond immediate pressures and identifying emerging opportunities and risks. Instead of defensively reacting to market changes, they are reshaping business models and competitive positioning in a proactive manner. Visionaryleaders, among other things, give organisations a feeling of movement which is used as a guide for making decisions at every level by clarifying purpose and ambition. A perspective that is so far ahead enables firms to invest in skills, technologies, and markets which may not yield instant returns but are necessary for growth in the .

Also, the power of leaders with foresight very often extends the ability of a company to create sustainable value over time. Such leaders, among other things, by concentrating on the company's financial performance while

still considering the interests of the wider stakeholder group, they thereby, integrate environmental responsibility, social impact, and ethical governance into the core strategy.

This detailed approach has a positive effect on corporate reputation, it attracts investor trust, and it creates customer loyalty. In today's business environment, where trust and credibility are increasingly important, visionary leaders play a decisive role. They ensure that growth is not only profitable but also socially responsible.

Innovation and Organisational Change Innovationis the key to a company's competitive advantage, and therefore, it is often the visionary leaders who, as a result of their breakthrough ideas, initiate the transformative change. They challenge established thinking, assure that trial and error is part of the process, and build environments where creativity gets nurtured. Visionary leaders imply that taking chances is not only acceptable but also rewarded when they advocate for innovation as the most essential value. Consequently, this attitude gives organizations the capability to be more agile, responsive and to spot the openings that others may fail to see.

Moreover, visionary leaders are the main drivers of profound organisational transformation beyond product and technological innovation. They understand that firm structures, procedures, and skill sets evolve as a result of the adoption of digital tools, new business models, and customer expectations. Using their communication skills and leading by example, they navigate employees through the change journey without losing the connection to the organisation's core purpose. In effect, visionary leaders lessen resistance, increase commitment and thus ensure that the change initiatives they have undertaken lead to business results rather than being just a few projects isolated from each .

Building Culture and Resilience One of the main features of visionary leaders is their capacity to influence the culture of the organisation in such a way that it facilitates success over time. Culture is a significant performance driver because it affects how

employees think, collaborate, and respond to issues.

Visionary leaders support cultures built on purpose, responsibility, and shared values. They, therefore, through their own behaviour and by encouraging the continuation of the chosen conduct, create places where workers are motivated, have a sense of ownership, and are united with the organisation's broader vision.

As much, if not more, a role is played by the visionary leaders in the development of talent and the building of organisational resilience. They recognize the importance of grooming these future leaders as they know that sustainability is entirely based on leadership that is well developed and continuous learning. In a way of crisis or uncertainty, visionary leaders are the ones that provide the organization with firmness and trust as they stick to the core and are prompt in their decision-making. Their ability to handle disruption and at the same time keep the team members focused and willing to change, makes it possible for their organisations to realise quick recovery and to be in a better position after experiencing the .

complex and volatile situations. Their influence goes beyond economic outcomes, as it reshapes the manner in which companies become responsible entities, involve stakeholders, and characterize their position in the world economy. The demand for visionary leaders will become even higher in the future as the pace of change is getting faster and faster. Such companies which energize their leaders to become more visionary are more powerful to detect disorder, involve their employees, and get sustainable growth. Ultimately, it is the courage, foresight, and above all, the visionary leaders' insight that makes it possible for contemporary organisations to turn challenges into opportunities and even survive in a constantly changing.

Conclusion Visionary leaders have an enormous and lasting impact on modern business. Through their influence on strategic direction, as the chief innovation drivers, and by creating adaptable cultures, they enable companies to survive in

Awakening Curiosity

Transforming Education 2025 for Tomorrow's Learning

E

ducation systems around the world are entering a decisive phase of transformation as 2025 approaches. Rapid technological advancements, evolving workforce requirements, and shifting societal expectations are compelling educators, policymakers, and institutions to rethink how learning is designed and delivered. Traditional models that prioritize rote learning, standardized assessments, and fixed curricula are increasingly viewed as insufficient for preparing learners to navigate a world characterized by complexity, uncertainty, and continuous change. In response, a more holistic, flexible, and learner-centric approach is gaining momentum. Transforming education in 2025 goes beyond the adoption of new tools or digital platforms. It represents a broader reimagining of purpose, pedagogy, and participation in learning. The focus is moving toward equipping learners with critical thinking, adaptability, ethical reasoning, and lifelong learning capabilities. This transformation is shaped by three interconnected dimensions: the integration of technology, the evolution of curriculum and pedagogy, and the redefinition of the roles played by educators, institutions, and learners themselves.

Tech-Driven Personalized Learning Technology continues to be a central driver in reshaping education, but its role in 2025 is defined less by novelty and more by strategic and intentional use. Digital tools such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, adaptive learning platforms, and immersive technologies are enabling personalized learning pathways that respond to individual student needs, strengths, and pace. These tools allow educators to move away from one-size-fits-all instruction toward more targeted support that enhances learning outcomes and engagement. Personalized learning is no longer limited to academic performance; it also focuses on

20 www.insightssuccessmagazine.com

December 2025

21 www.insightssuccessmagazine.com

December 2025

social-emotional development, collaboration skills, and creative thinking.

At the same time, technology is expanding access to education across geographic, economic, and social boundaries. Online and hybrid learning models are making quality education available to learners who were previously excluded due to location, cost, or other barriers. In 2025, building inclusive digital ecosystems involves not only connectivity and accessible content but also digital literacy for both educators and learners. Challenges such as the digital divide, data privacy, cybersecurity, and infrastructure limitations must be addressed to ensure that technology functions as a bridge rather than a barrier.

Future-Ready Curriculum and Pedagogy The transformation of education in 2025 places renewed emphasis on both what is taught and how it is taught.

Curricula are increasingly aligned with real-world contexts, interdisciplinary thinking, and future-oriented skills. STEM disciplines—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—are being integrated with the arts, humanities, and social sciences to cultivate creativity, ethical reasoning, and problem-solving capabilities. This holistic approach acknowledges that future challenges will not be confined to single disciplines but will require an integrated understanding of complex systems and interdependencies.

Pedagogical practices are also evolving to support deeper learning and active participation. Project-based learning, experiential education, collaborative problem-solving, and inquiry-based approaches are becoming central components of classroom practice. These methods encourage learners to apply knowledge in practical settings, work effectively in teams, and critically reflect on their learning processes.

Assessment systems are gradually moving away from highstakes examinations toward continuous, formative evaluation models that value creativity, critical thinking, and applied understanding alongside academic knowledge.

By fostering an environment that emphasizes exploration and reflection, education can nurture learners who are not only knowledgeable but also capable of adapting and innovating in a rapidly changing world.

Transforming Educators and Institutions As education transforms, the roles of educators and institutions are also undergoing significant change. Teachers

22 www.insightssuccessmagazine.com

in 2025 are increasingly positioned as facilitators, mentors, and learning designers rather than sole transmitters of knowledge. This role requires ongoing professional development, digital competence, and the ability to guide learners through complex and often self-directed learning journeys. Supporting educators through training, collaboration, and institutional backing is therefore critical to the success of educational transformation. Empowered educators are better equipped to foster student agency, creativity, and resilience.

Institutions, meanwhile, are redefining their purpose within a broader learning ecosystem. Schools and universities are forming stronger partnerships with industry, community organizations, and global networks to ensure relevance, adaptability, and responsiveness. Lifelong learning is emerging as a central mission, with institutions offering flexible credentials, modular courses, micro-certifications, and opportunities for continuous upskilling. In this evolving landscape, learners are empowered to take greater ownership of their education, developing the mindset and capabilities needed to learn, unlearn, and relearn throughout their lives. Institutions that embrace this vision create ecosystems that support innovation, equity, and collaboration, extending the impact of education far beyond the classroom.

Conclusion Transforming education in 2025 represents both an opportunity and a responsibility to align learning systems with the realities of a rapidly changing world. As technology, society, and the economy continue to evolve, education must move beyond traditional boundaries to become more flexible, inclusive, and future-focused. The emphasis on personalized learning, interdisciplinary curricula, and active pedagogy reflects a growing recognition that success in the future will depend on adaptability, critical thinking, and continuous learning rather than static knowledge alone. Ultimately, the success of this transformation depends on a collective commitment from policymakers, educators, institutions, and learners. By investing in teacher development, strengthening digital and physical infrastructure, and fostering partnerships across sectors, education systems can build resilient learning ecosystems that empower individuals throughout their lives.

A transformed education system in 2025 has the potential not only to prepare learners for tomorrow's careers but also to nurture informed, ethical, and engaged citizens capable of contributing meaningfully to a complex and interconnected world.
