George Kwadwo Anane

With over 10 years’ experience in academic and administrative leadership in the higher education sector, I have expertise in strategic and operational management with excellent abilities in policy development, team leadership, and cross-departmental collaboration, teaching, and research. My expertise in higher educational leadership and administration, particularly evidenced in my current role of providing leadership at the academic and students’ affairs division for over 10,000 students at the University of Energy and Natural Resources, highlights my skills in leadership. My track record of enhancing operational efficiencies and driving strategic initiatives, coupled with a commitment to education for all advancements, makes me well-suited to contribute significantly to any organisations interested in education to ensure operational excellence and impactful global educational service delivery.

I teach on adjunct basis. This involves

• Teaching undergraduate courses in planning.
• Participating in curriculum development.
• Setting examination questions and marking examination scripts.
• Supervising theses/project works.
• Mentoring/counselling of students.
