The
Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU) has highlighted its
advancements in digital education delivery at the League of Tropical
Universities (LTU) 2026 Summit held in China.
The
summit, hosted by Hainan University, brought together more than 200 delegates
from 30 countries and regions to deliberate on the future of higher education
in the digital era.
Acting
Vice-Chancellor of GCTU, Prof. Ebenezer Malcalm, represented the university at
the gathering and delivered a presentation focused on hybrid distance learning
models designed for remote and hard-to-reach communities.
He
emphasized the importance of leveraging digital and hybrid learning approaches
to address educational disparities caused by poverty, geographical limitations,
and inadequate infrastructure.
According
to him, such innovative models are critical to expanding access to quality
education and ensuring inclusivity in higher learning systems, particularly in
underserved regions.
The
summit provided a platform for global academic leaders to exchange ideas on how
technology can reshape education delivery and strengthen collaboration among
institutions worldwide.
