Key Points

  • The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has published a list of 62 unrecognised tertiary institutions.
  • The public, prospective students, and employers are warned against accepting certificates from these entities due to quality assurance concerns.
  • The list includes both internationally based institutions and several operating within Ghana, raising particular concern about local recruitment.
  • Qualifications from unrecognised institutions may not be accepted for further studies, public service employment, or professional licensing in Ghana.
  • GTEC advises all to exercise due diligence and verify institution accreditation through official channels before committing time and money.

Why This Matters

This action is crucial for upholding the integrity of Ghana's tertiary education system and protecting its citizens. It shields Ghanaian students and employers from investing in or accepting fraudulent and substandard academic credentials, thereby ensuring a quality workforce and credible academic standards within the country.
