The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has approved over 1000 programs for study by public universities nationwide.
According to Dr. Ahmed Abdulai Jinapor, the Director-General of GTEC, these programs aim to streamline the academic calendar of tertiary institutions.
To ensure focused specialization, a new monitoring body will be established by GTEC to oversee these programs offered by public universities.
Dr. Jinapor emphasized the importance of institutions adhering to their designated mandates and areas of expertise, discouraging a broad approach.
The proposed monitoring body will ensure that programs align with the developmental goals of the country and avoid contributing to oversaturated markets in the economy.
