Established by the Education Regulatory Bodies Act, 2020 (Act 1023), the Commission is responsible for safeguarding the quality, credibility, and integrity of all tertiary institutions in Ghana.

Their mandate covers the accreditation of universities and programmes to monitoring performance and even regulating the use of academic titles.
