President John Dramani Mahama has announced government's plans to explore public-private partnership to address accommodation crisis in tertiary institutions.
Delivering the State of the Nation's Address (SONA) on Thursday, February 27, President Mahama noted that rising enrollment has strained the infrastructure of universities causing overcrowding and inadequate accommodation.
He indicated that government is determined to expand access and align tertiary education with national goals particularly in STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics].
In this regard, the President revealed that government will this year conduct a feasibility study on the new public universities and campuses of the existing public universities in the six new regions [Savannah, North East, Western North, Oti, Bono East, Ahafo- Regions].
