Abuakwa South: 200 American students to arrive in Kyebi under MP's education tourism initiative
Abuakwa South Municipality is positioning itself as Ghana’s biggest hub for educational tourism, with plans set to host its first cohort of 200 American student interns in July 2026. The initiative is under a major international exchange programme being spearheaded by the Member of Parliament for the area, Dr Kingsley Agyemang.
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. A delegation from Journey to Destiny Ministries made a two-day assessment visit to evaluate the municipality's readiness to host the programme. Felicia Foster, President of Journey to Destiny Ministries, 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. Rev. Dr. Charles Fosu-Ayarkwa, Principal of the College, said, "The anticipation is that by July this year, 200 plus students will be coming from Memphis to join our students for the second semester".
