The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission, GTEC, has put a freeze on accreditation for new programmes by Universities that have not fully renewed running programmes.
The Commission has signaled that by next month, it will begin a serial publication of unaccredited programmes and centres in newspapers and on its website.
It has consequently cautioned the public to resist offers from institutions to study such unaccredited programmes.
The GTEC said it will submit the list of unaccredited programmes and centres to all government agencies so that they will not employ anybody who has a certificate of a programme that is not accredited.
The Deputy Director-General of GTEC, Professor Ahmed Abdulai Jinapor advised the public to always visit the Commission’s website to be sure of programmes that have not been accredited.
He said by law, the GTEC was mandated to evaluate the authenticity of all certificates issued in the country.
