Private Universities in Ghana to Boost Gross Tertiary Enrolment Ratio

Private universities in Ghana are uniting efforts to improve the country’s Gross Tertiary Enrolment Ratio (GTER), which currently falls behind the national target.

Professor Mrs. Goski Alabi, Co-Founder and President of Accra Metropolitan University (formerly known as Laweh University College), reaffirmed her commitment during a ceremony at Jubilee House.

At the event, Ex-President Nana Akufo-Addo conferred Presidential Charters on 14 universities, marking a significant milestone in their academic autonomy and excellence.

Prof. Alabi highlighted that the Presidential Charter is a testament to the government’s dedication to fostering quality, access, and autonomy within Ghana’s tertiary education system.

According to TheGlobalEconomy.com, Ghana’s GTER in 2023 was 21.99%, an improvement from 20.39% in 2022. However, Ghana’s Education Strategic Plan (ESP) 2018–2030 targets a GTER of 25–40%, with the global average standing at 40.35%, based on data from 63 countries.
