Information:
The Global Harvest College
is a tertiary educational institution in Gambia situated in
the semi-rural village of Banjulinding. It was established
early this century in the year 2000 and functioned as an officially
accredited skills centre. Since then the GHC has since become
a fully functioning higher education college.
It is registered and accredited with the National
Training Authority (NTA) and was licensed to act as a training school
in January 2011. It began classes in March of that same year.
GHC
aims to provide skilled personnel by offering relevant
vocational courses and qualifications that meet the requirements
of the economy. It aims to attract and enrol students from the
surrounding communities as well as making available learning
resources in a conducive and quiet environment. To encourage
learning it offers scholarships to the people of Banjulinding
each year.
Global Harvest College accepts people of all ages and it also offers adult numeracy
and reading skills for mature students who wish to increase
their skills set, to enhance their productivity and
opportunities for
finding gainful employment. This course is also intended for
people who may have missed out on formal education or dropped
out early and wish to get themselves into the educational
system. Such students are advised to enrol on the Basic
Functional Skills course as a first step to advancing to higher
levels of learning.
Students who have already acquired
basic and more advanced skills are put into the diploma or
certificate level courses.
It is hoped that all Gambian
students who have graduated have at least gained the General
Certificate level of education in numeracy and reading English
language.
