The College of Science at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology has received a donation of 60 books from Dr. and Dr. (Mrs.) Samuel Appiah-Anane, aimed at enhancing teaching and learning, particularly in Mathematics and related fields.

The books, published by National Geographic under the Our Mathematical World series, were presented on behalf of the donors by Dr. ABC Dadson.

According to him, the donation reflects the donors’ desire to support students with quality learning resources.

“These are books from Mr. and Dr. (Mrs.) Appiah-Anane, and they asked me to present them to the college. They are published by National Geographic, and we hope they will benefit students, especially those with interest in Mathematics and related fields,” he stated.

Provost of the College of Science, Professor Philip Antwi Agyei, expressed gratitude to the donors, noting that such contributions play a key role in improving academic work.

“We are very grateful to the Appiah-Anane family. As a college and as a university, we value support from our stakeholders and assure them that these books will be put to good use,” he said.

He added that access to relevant academic materials remains critical to building a strong academic environment.

“We cannot talk about a well-developed college without reading books. During our time, access to such materials was a challenge, but today, we are fortunate to have individuals who continue to support us. Like Oliver Twist, we are asking for more, and our doors are always open,” he added.

Dean of the Faculty of Biosciences, Professor John Asiedu Larbi, also welcomed the donation, highlighting the importance of physical books despite the growing reliance on digital learning tools.

“In this digital era, it is refreshing to receive hardcopy materials. While screens are important, managing screen time is equally necessary, and books like these remain valuable,” he noted.

The College Registrar, Mrs. Vanessa Appiah Castel, assured that the books would be effectively utilized by students to support teaching and learning.

The donation is expected to boost academic resources at the College of Science library and further strengthen the role of stakeholder support in advancing education at KNUST.
