More than 3,500 students have had their national service eligibility affected after enrolling in unaccredited tertiary institutions across the country, the Private Universities Students' Association of Ghana (PUSAG) has disclosed.
In a statement on Thursday, July 31, 2025, the Association commended the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) for intensifying its enforcement drive. "Over 3,500 students from 22 unaccredited institutions for the 2025/2026 national service scheme have already had their national service opportunity affected because of their enrollment in these unapproved/unaccredited institutions. "This alarming development threatens the future of many young Ghanaians.
Students enrolled in unapproved institutions not only risk having their degrees nullified but their National Service also affected,"it noted.
In response to what it described as a "crisis in student protection," PUSAG outlined several initiatives it is undertaking.
