In sub-Saharan Africa, over one in five students studying in higher education is in a private institution, rising to one in two in Ghana. With different actors providing higher education, the government needs to make sure it maintains oversight of the overall system to ensure quality and equitable access. Ghana, for instance, as our country profile on the PEER website shows, has a Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) under the Ministry of Education, which is committed to ensuring its higher education system is equitable and inclusive for all learners in order to achieve its objective of becoming a learning nation. This blog details its oversight with the hope that our experience might be of use to other countries also managing the complicated governance of higher education along with non-state actors.
