Ghana’s Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has published a list of 50 tertiary institutions it says are operating without accreditation.
In a statement signed by its Director-General, Prof Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, the Commission warned the public to be cautious and avoid engaging with the affected schools.
“The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) wishes to formally notify all Heads of Tertiary Institutions that the institutions listed below are currently not recognised by the Commission due to various accreditation and quality assurance breaches,” the statement read.
Prof Jinapor urged heads of accredited institutions to take the notice seriously, stressing that only schools meeting GTEC’s quality assurance standards are authorised to award tertiary-level qualifications.
The announcement follows increasing reports of unapproved colleges and universities admitting students and issuing certificates not recognised by the state.
The Commission said it would continue monitoring and enforcing compliance with Ghana’s education regulations to protect students and maintain the integrity of the country’s tertiary education system.
A full list of the 50 unaccredited institutions has been published on GTEC’s official website.
