The KNUST E-Learning Centre has held a four-day retreat to review its strategic direction, assess ongoing activities and develop action plans for the 2026/2027 academic year.

The retreat, held from 26th to 29th May 2026 at Nyansapo Eco Resort, brought together staff and management to discuss the Centre’s operations, strategic priorities and budget planning.
