Quality Assurance Officers meet to deliberate on criteria for University Ranking in Ghana

University ranking is becoming a ‘big deal’ to higher education providers the world over and Ghana in particular. This is because, aside the prestige that goes with knowing that you are doing great as an institution, it informs greatly decision prospective students make on choice of institution.
Currently, ranking results used in Ghana are those from Webometrics or 4icu, all international bodies. However, whiles some of the ranking criteria are virtually unknown to the institutions being ranked, most of their goals are also inconsistent with the expectations of the public. To help streamline these, VCG directed through its secretariat that, quality assurance units of all five (5) public universities in Ghana to meet and develop criteria for ranking in Ghana.
In response to the call, quality assurance units are meeting at SMAYAK Hotel at Apam for a two day session. The two day meeting would among others be used to share activities to ensure quality on all campuses and also fashion out criteria for ranking Ghanaian Universities.
