GTEC flags 50 unrecognised tertiary institutions
The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has issued a warning to the public and all heads of tertiary institutions about a list of 50 institutions that it does not recognise.
In an statement signed by the Director-General, Prof. Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, GTEC explained that these institutions have failed to meet the required accreditation and quality assurance standards and are therefore not authorised to operate as tertiary institutions in Ghana.
The Commission urged all stakeholders, particularly educational institutions, employers, and prospective students, to take the warning seriously and avoid any dealings with the listed institutions.
GTEC further emphasised that academic qualifications obtained from these unrecognised institutions may not be valid for employment or further studies.
The list includes both foreign and Ghana-based institutions, such as Universidad Azteca (Mexico), Indian School of Management and Studies (India), Atlantic International University (USA), Debest College of Science, Arts and Business (Ghana), Osiri University (USA), Faith University Seminary (Ghana), University of America (USA), Kingsnow University (USA), Delta International University (USA) and New Life Bible College and Seminary (USA).
In total, 50 institutions from countries including the USA, India, Switzerland, Ghana and others were named.
GTEC reiterated its commitment to maintaining high standards in tertiary education in Ghana and protecting the integrity of qualifications awarded in the country.
