Stop pursuing unaccredited programs or risk being denied employment in government institutions – GTEC.

The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) is warning students to refrain from pursuing unaccredited programs at various universities in Ghana or risk being denied employment in government institutions. Additionally, the commission states that students who study such programs will not be allowed to undergo their national service.

Speaking to journalists in Kumasi after engaging Vice Chancellors of technical universities in Kumasi, the Director-General of the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission, Prof. Ahmed Abdulai Jinapor, noted that these far-reaching measures are aimed at ensuring that all schools offer only accredited courses.

He stated that, they decide when accreditation starts and when it ends. Regarding those that have not been accredited previously, where they have people source for such programs.

He said they try as much as they can to clear that backlog to make sure that all those programs that were not accredited, those programs are given accreditation.
