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 Tertiary Education Institutions, Specialised/ Professional Tertiary Education Institutions, Private Tertiary Education Institutions, Technical Universities/ Polytechnics, Colleges of Agriculture(CoA), Colleges of Education(CoE) and Nursing and Midwifery Training Colleges (NMTCs). This composite report is meant to inform tertiary education policy decisions at national and institutional levels. It is presented in two parts. Part One of the 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 growth ▪ Staffing
Part Two covers graduate output, staff details for the various types of institutions and also information on the quality of staff, student enrolment and Student –Staff Ratio (SSR) for Humanities and Science disciplines for each institution. The data as provided by the individual institutions and captured in the graphs pertain to the academic year ending 2016.
Page | ix
METHODOLOGY
A format for data collection attached to a request letter was sent to each institution
by post by the end of January 2016.
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 submitted data 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. Final submissions showing significant data gaps were excluded in full or in part in the data processing exercise.
The Information provided by the institutions in the completed format were collated,
analysed and have been translated into graphical presentation for easy reading and
interpretation.

than 2 percent are on sandwich
programmes.
The male to female ratio is
biased towards the males.

III. Public undergraduate enrolment of Science and Humanities over the past five (5)
academic years
Both Science and
Humanities
enrolment are
generally increasing.
However, the
increase in science is
particularly
commendable,
registering a 24.8
percent increase.
IV. Public undergraduate enrolment by academic levels
Most of undergraduate students can be found in the third year. Year One sows relatively low
enrolment. The proportion of students in Year Five, Year Six, and Year Seven are studying
undergraduate programmes that go beyond the normal four years, and are understandably at the
advanced stages of their programmes. Programmes in this category include Bachelor of Medicine
Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB), Doctor of Pharmacy, and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Some
language programmes such as French which spans a period of five years are also included in the
analysis for Year Five.
