The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has issued a warning to the public and heads of tertiary institutions regarding 50 institutions operating without accreditation.
In an official statement signed by the Director-General, Prof. Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, GTEC stated that these institutions have not met the Commission’s accreditation and quality assurance standards and are therefore not authorised to operate as tertiary institutions in Ghana.
GTEC cautioned students, parents, and guardians to verify the accreditation status of any institution before enrolling, as certificates from unaccredited institutions are not recognised.
The Commission emphasised that it will continue to take necessary action to protect the integrity of Ghana’s tertiary education system and urged all stakeholders to remain vigilant.
GTEC urged all stakeholders, especially educational institutions, employers, and prospective students, to take the caution seriously and avoid dealings with the listed institutions.
The Commission 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, with names 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)
* 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.
