Last Friday, the BlueCrest College School of Fashion and Design graduated 34 students from the classes of 2019 and 2020. Mr Sujith Jayaprakash, rector of the school, stated that the students had entered their professional lives and that they should remember their roles and responsibilities and do more for their career.
Graduands, according to Mr Jayaprakash, should be self-sustaining in the future in order to improve themselves and the economy, while also motivating them to use their skills effectively.
“When I talk about quality education, I don’t just mean access to education; I mean a system that provides knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes that respond to individual, national, environmental, social, and global expectations,” he explained.
The Dean of Academics, Professor Thomas Assan, challenged the graduands to do their best when they get into their profession.

“With these skills acquired I know some of you would set up your own business while others continue with their education, but you should be innovative enough to boost the economy of the country,” he said.
Mrs Agnes Odamea Larbi, Head of Department (HoD) for the School of Fashion and Design, congratulated the graduands for their patience till the end of their schooling.
“Your struggles have been rewarded today though the pandemic and other internal challenges did not permit us in 2019 and 2020 but we have successfully gotten to the end of the road but it is not the end, it is the beginning,” she said.
She advised the graduands to use the knowledge they had acquired for the benefit of others in the society and excel in every field they would find themselves.
