Presidential Charter Process In Ghana

Image
  ABOUT PRESIDENTIAL CHARTER A charter signifies that a university has continuously met excellent educational standards and regulations, and so no longer requires direct supervision. Such institutions will become independent degree-awarding universities once a presidential charter is granted. After awarding credentials, they would cease to be linked with other higher education institutions. The GTEC will give a presidential charter to the educational body after a thorough evaluation of the school's curriculum, finances, governance, and facilities. This will turn the university into a full-fledged independent degree-granting institution. This means that universities will no longer award degrees through affiliate institutions, as all private colleges must do until they receive a charter. The Presidential Charter recognizes the features, strengths, and influence of universities on higher education in Ghana and abroad.   PRESIDENTIAL CHARTER REQUIREMENTS/STEPS In Ghana, every newl...
