200 American students to arrive in Kyebi under Dr. Kingsley Agyemang's multimillion-dollar education tourism initiative
Dr. Kingsley Agyemang's multimillion-dollar education tourism initiative plans to host its first cohort of 200 American student interns in July 2026 in Abuakwa South Municipality. The initiative is being implemented in partnership with US-based non-profit organisation Journey to Destiny Ministries (JTDM) and the Kibi Presbyterian College of Education. The initiative aims to deepen cross-cultural engagement between students in Kyebi and their counterparts in the United States, particularly from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
A delegation from Journey to Destiny Ministries made a two-day assessment visit to evaluate the municipality's readiness to host the programme. The team inspected academic and residential facilities at the Kibi Presbyterian College of Education and toured key tourism attractions. President of Journey to Destiny Ministries, Felicia Foster, said, "We’re very confident that students will get a great experience when they come to this global internship." The Municipal Chief Executive, Nana Addo Aikins, pledged the Assembly's full support to ensure the success of the initiative.
The partnership between Dr. Kingsley Agyemang, the Kibi Presbyterian College of Education, and Journey to Destiny Ministries is expected to evolve into a long-term educational tourism programme. Principal of the College, Rev. Dr. Charles Fosu-Ayarkwa, described the initiative as a transformative opportunity for students on both sides of the exchange. He added that the first group of students is expected to arrive mid-year.
