The Vice-Chancellor of Sunyani Technical University, Ing. Prof. Kwadwo Adinkrah-Appiah, has announced that the university is offering 20% discount on school fees of all female engineering students, beginning from the next academic year.

Speaking at a Students-Staff durbar held at the University’s main auditorium Tuesday February 14, Ing. Prof. Adinkrah-Appiah, explained that the move formed part of an affirmative action adopted by management to encourage more females to pursue various engineering courses.

He said because, STU is a technical university, it usually struggles to get females to study engineering programmes and so the university has taken this affirmative action to give special consideration to prospective female engineering students.

He further explained that this would attract more females into the engineering field.
