My brother, education is the best investment we can ever give our children here in Ghana, but the latest news from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission will make you pause.
GTEC has officially released a public notice flagging over one hundred tertiary institutions operating across the country and beyond without proper recognition. If you are not careful, you might spend your hard earned money on school fees only to realize your certificate is just an expensive piece of paper.
According to official updates from GTEC, exactly one hundred and ten institutions have been categorized as unrecognised due to severe quality assurance concerns. These affected schools include both local entities and foreign online institutions targeting Ghanaian students with attractive diploma and degree programs. The commission has strongly urged parents and prospective students to conduct proper background checks before enrolling in any tertiary institution.
We all know how Ghanaian parents hustle to pay school fees from primary school all the way to the university level. It is heartbreaking to invest your entire life savings into a program only to discover later that the school lacks official accreditation. This recent action by GTEC serves as a timely wake up call for everyone seeking higher education credentials this year. Always verify school credentials directly through official regulatory portals before making any financial commitment.
