INTRODUCTION

The Tertiary Institutions (Establishment and Accreditation) 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 the 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 analyzes information from all tertiary educational institutions in Ghana, appropriately categorized for the purposes of this exercise as follows: Public Universities, Private Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education and Nursing Training Colleges.

This composite report is meant to inform tertiary education policy decisions at national and institutional levels. Presentation of the composite data under each category is, therefore, graphically made to facilitate interpretation by the user. The graphs broadly cover the following subjects:

. Level of programmes and mode of delivery . Enrolment by levels . Enrolment by Type of Programme mode (i.e. regular, distance learning, sandwich) . Enrolment by Type of Programme disciplines (i.e. Science; Humanities) . Enrolment trend . Staffing

The data as provided by the individual institutions and captured in the graphs cover the academic year ending 2013.

It is hoped that in the next report for the 2013/2014 academic year report, the scope of the report would be expanded to include distribution of the various programme disciplines as well as information on other support facilities.

METHODOLOGY

Pre-designed format for data collection attached to a request letter was sent to each institution by post by the middle of February 2014.The Information provided by the institutions in the completed format were collated, analyzed and translated into graphical presentation for easy reading and interpretation.

Both soft and hard copies of the completed formats were retrieved from the institutions to facilitate access to various aspects of the information provided at various stages of the processing.

A pre-screening of the data so submitted was done to check for possible errors. Errors detected in any of the submitted data were communicated to the officers in charge at the respective institutions for correction.

In some instances however, the tertiary institutions with defective submissions communicated back to NAB indicating they were unable to resolve all the errors identified. While efforts to impress on the institutions to work harder at resolving the problem proved futile, it became unreasonable to report on education variables such as library with relatively low item response rates.

This Full-Time Part-Time was 3.5 times the population of students in the Private TEIs.

The 10 Polytechnics in Ghana have a student population of 51,169 representing 13.1% of country- wide recorded student population. Polytechnics run Higher National Diploma programmes (HND) and Bachelor of Technology (B-Tech) programmes in various disciplines. There are moves to run M-Tech programmes in collaboration with some Universities in and outside Ghana.

1

Students in the 41 recorded Colleges of Education constitute almost a 10th of the student population. These Colleges run only Diploma in Basic Education programmes.

Colleges of Nursing run Nursing and Midwifery programmes and their student population is less than 2%.

Further, males constitute 61% (236, 649) of the student population. The female population is 153, 248 yielding a male to female ratio of approximately 3:2.

Full-time academic faculty for Public & Private Universities and University Colleges comprise 24.5% Professors/ Associate Professors; 12% Senior lecturers and 50.1% Lecturers. The proportion of Professors/ Associate Professors is close to the composite norm of 25% as prescribed by NCTE. However, the proportion of senior lecturers and lecturers are very much at variance with the NCTE norm of 35% and 40% respectively.

2012/ 2013 student entry enrolment is the highest in the past four years. Student enrolment for Year 1 in Public TEIs was in excess of 39,000. This was 33.8% more than the previous year’s intake who are currently in their second year.

Year 4 enrolment which is the same as the intake for 2009/20010 academic year is almost 32,000.

Programmes with clinical component such as the Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB), Doctor of Pharmacy, and Doctor of Veterinary span beyond four years. Some language programmes such as French which spans a period of five years are also included in the analysis for Year 5. There were 930 students on such programmes for the academic year 2012/ 2013 under review. As indicated in the chart, more than half of that number (513 ≈ 55%) were in Year 5.
