Regulations of 2010: L.I. 1984 subsection 16(a), requires all recognized or accredited tertiary institutions to “prepare and submit to the Board an annual report, in a prescribed format, of their activities for each academic year within three (3) months after the end of the academic year”. In consonance with the above provision in the L.I, the National Accreditation Board (NAB) collects, collates and analyses information from all tertiary educational institutions (TEI) in Ghana. TEIs in the country are categorized into Public and Private Universities, University Colleges, Specialised/Professional Institutions, Technical Universities/ Polytechnics, Colleges of Agriculture (CoA), Colleges of Education (CoE) and Nursing and Midwifery Training Colleges/ Health Training Institutions (NMTCs/ HTIs). The report covers enrolment of students by type of institution, level of programme, broad programme areas, gender, graduate output, rank and highest qualification of staff as well as Student –Staff Ratios (SSR) for programmes for the 2018/2019 academic year. The Tables are organised by type of institution, and in some cases for each institution and covers 222 (88.1) out of the 252 tertiary educational institutions (TEIS) in the country. The institutions consist of: • 9 Public Universities • 8 Specialised/ Professional Institutions (also termed as public-Quasi institutions) • 8 Public Technical Universities and 2 Polytechnics • 73 Private Universities/ University Colleges/ Colleges • 3 Public Colleges of Agriculture • 49 Colleges of Education • 70 Nurses and Midwifery Training Colleges/ Health Training Institutions iv Definitions: Type of Institution: This refers to the category under which an institution falls in NAB’s categorisations of institutions. NAB Categorises institutions into Public Universities, Specialised/ Professional Institutions (also termed as public-Quasi institutions), Public Technical Universities and Polytechnics, Private Universities/ University Colleges/ Colleges, Public Colleges of Agriculture, Colleges of Education, and Nurses and Midwifery Training Colleges/ Health Training Institutions. FTE: This refers to Full-Time equivalency of academic staff. It is calculated as 3 part-time staff to 1 full- time staff. Broad programme disciplines: (i) Agriculture: refers to the traditional agriculture programme or any programme with a larger component of it, and its various options in crop science, soil science, animal science and even narrower programmes/ specialisations in these areas at doctorate and master’s degree levels. (ii) Applied Science: refers to programmes that deal with the application of scientific concepts/ theories in various fields to practical problems or application. It covers fields such as health and allied fields (e.g. Medical science, Nursing & Midwifery, Pharmacy, Dietetics/ Food science/ Nutrition, Health Informatics, Epidemiology, radiography, Diagnostic/ Medical Laboratory, Public Health), Information Technology/ computer science field, decision sciences, Architecture, Building Technology/ Construction management, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Environmental Science, Fisheries and Watershed, Natural resources, Forensic Science, Forest resources, sports science and close fields. It must be noted that Agriculture and Engineering are two broad niche areas and have been separated even though they are essentially Applied Science fields. (iii) Engineering: refers to programmes concerned with the design, building and use of machines, engines and structures. (iv) Science: refers to pure or classical sciences, mainly in the fields of physics, biology, chemistry. Also includes natural science. (v) Arts and Social Science: refers to programmes in the fine arts, social studies, and many other areas where a scientific methodology is applied to studies on human society and social relationships. While Business and Education are essentially Social Sciences fields, these broad niche areas have been separated from the Arts and Social Science. (vi) Business: refers to all programmes designed for the purpose of training people to undertake activities peculiar to a firm or trade, involving purchase, production, management and sale of usual goods and/or services, and payment and receipt of money. (vii) Education: refers to programmes meant to equip students with the art, science and skill of teaching and learning (pedagogy). These may have 50-100% component of typical courses in education.
