GTEC flags more than 100 unrecognised tertiary institutions

The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has warned the public about more than 100 tertiary institutions operating without official recognition as of September 2026.

The Commission said the institutions had not been recognised through its quality assurance processes, raising concerns about their operations and the validity of qualifications they offer.

In a statement, GTEC urged prospective students and parents to confirm the recognition status of institutions before enrolling.

It also advised the public to verify certificates issued by the listed institutions before relying on them for employment, further education or other official purposes.

The Commission said proper checks were necessary to establish whether the institutions and their qualifications met the required regulatory standards.
