In a landmark move to strengthen language education in Ghana, the Institute of Languages (IL) at the University of Media, Arts and Communication (UniMAC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Meilleur Language Centre (MLC), a subsidiary of Corricreche and Crimson Dawn School in Akosombo. The agreement, signed by UniMAC-IL Rector Prof. Cecilia Addei, marks the beginning of a transformative collaboration aimed at enhancing language training, certification, and academic excellence.

The UniMAC-IL and MLC partnership reflects a growing trend of academic institutions joining forces to enhance Ghana’s educational landscape. By combining UniMAC-IL’s academic oversight with MLC’s grassroots reach, the collaboration ensures that more students across Ghana can access structured, certified language programmes.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, the Rector of the Institute of Languages of the University of Media, Arts and Communication, Prof. Cecilia Addei emphasized the partnership’s role in expanding access to quality language education. “This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to academic excellence and innovation in language teaching. By working with Meilleur Language Centre, we are creating pathways for students to gain globally recognized certifications while upholding the highest educational standards,” she stated.

The Director of Meilleur Language Centre, Mrs. Corrinne Sackey expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting its potential to elevate language learning in Ghana. “This MoU is a game-changer for our students and instructors. UniMAC-IL’s expertise and certification will add immense value to our programmes, empowering learners with skills that open doors to academic and professional opportunities,” they noted.

Under the agreement, UniMAC-IL will provide comprehensive course outlines for English, French, German, and Spanish programmes, ensuring that MLC’s curriculum aligns with national and international standards.
Additionally, UniMAC-IL will:
• Build the capacity of MLC instructors through specialized workshops.
• Moderate and oversee MLC’s end-of-session examinations to maintain academic rigor.
• Issue UniMAC-IL certificates to deserving MLC students, granting them recognized qualifications.

On its part, Meilleur Language Centre will:
• Recruit students and qualified instructors for the language programmes.
• Organize training workshops for instructors at the start of each academic session.
• Register students for UniMAC-IL examinations and certification.

As both institutions move forward with this initiative, the focus remains on empowering minds, fostering multilingualism, and preparing students for a competitive global environment.
Together, we are not just teaching languages we are building bridges to brighter futures.
