- To UTAG, the decision by the Commission would not serve the interest of tertiary education in Ghana as the world was evolving so rapidly that academic programming must continuously evolve to keep pace.
- A regulator deciding to cease accrediting new academic programs is essentially sticking rods in the spokes of success, according to Prof. Mamudu A. Akudugu, national president of UTAG, who made this statement.
- Therefore, he demanded that Ghana’s accreditation system be completely overhauled, noting that this process must begin with a review or change of the Education Regulatory Bodies Act, 2020, Act 1023.
- He was addressing at the University for Development Studies (UDS) in Tamale during the 21st annual conference of UTAG.
- “Labour Unionism and Socioeconomic Transformation in Ghana; Can UTAG Be the Pacesetter?” was the event’s theme.
- Executives from UTAG from every public university in the nation attended the occasion to talk about member welfare and swear in new members.
