Ephraim Ayeh Oracca-Tetteh, a blind student at the University of Ghana, has defied the odds to graduate as valedictorian with a 4.0 FGPA.
Initially aspiring to be a visual artist, his dreams shifted when a health condition led to deteriorating eyesight.
Undeterred, he sought support from the Ghana Blind Union, mastered Assistive Technology, and pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, Philosophy & Classics, and Archaeology.
His excellence earned him the Alumni Prize for Best Level 200 Humanities Student and a place at the Vice-Chancellor’s Awards.
Beyond academics, Ephraim championed student advocacy as Organising Secretary and PRO for the Campus Association of Students with Special Needs, volunteered with Radio Univers, and trained high school teachers in tech-based education.
With a passion for human rights and inclusion, Ephraim aims to become an academic in Philosophy and Law, proving that disability is not inability.
