The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has issued a warning to the public and heads of tertiary institutions about 50 schools that it says are not recognised or accredited to operate in the country.
In a statement signed by its Director-General, Prof Ahmed Jinapor Abdulai, GTEC said the named institutions have failed to meet national accreditation and quality assurance standards. As a result, they are not authorised to operate as tertiary institutions in Ghana.
The Commission advised students, parents, employers and educational institutions to avoid engaging with the schools listed, warning that qualifications obtained from them may not be valid for employment or further education.
The list includes both foreign and Ghana-based institutions. Among those mentioned are Universidad Azteca in Mexico, Atlantic International University and Kingsnow University in the United States, the Indian School of Management and Studies in India, and Debest College of Science, Arts and Business and Faith University Seminary in Ghana.
A total of 50 institutions from countries including the United States, India, Switzerland and Ghana were cited.
GTEC said it remains committed to safeguarding the quality and credibility of tertiary education in Ghana.
