The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has warned the public against enrolling in or relying on certificates from 70 institutions it claims are currently unrecognised in Ghana due to several quality-assurance issues.
In a public statement dated May 28, 2026, the Commission encouraged prospective students, employers, and the general public to conduct thorough research when considering qualifications from the listed institutions.
According to GTEC, these institutions lack recognition from the Commission, and the certificates they issue may not be valid for academic, professional, or employment purposes within Ghana.
“The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) wishes to inform the public that the institutions listed below are currently not recognised by the Commission due to various quality assurance concerns.
Accordingly, the public is advised to exercise due diligence concerning any certificates issued by these institutions,” the notice stated.
