One of two prestige public universities in the country, the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), is said to be caught in the web of running unaccredited academic programmes on the blind side of the public.
This was revealed in the 2021 Auditor-General’s report dated June 1, 2022.
According to details of the report, “out of the 360 programmes run by the University, only 61 have been accredited, 190 sent to National Accreditation Board (NAB) for accreditation and reaccreditation with 109 yet to be sent to NAB for accreditation.”
The Auditor-General has, therefore “recommended to Management to cease running programmes that are not accredited or having its accredited certificates expired, until they are accredited or renewed, to avoid sanctions by NAB.”
