  Do these private universities understand what is PRIVATE? They churn in semi literates because of money and clog the market with poorly educated graduates. Yes you pay tax because you are a profit making organization. So, you pay taxes according to what you make. Public universities are not for profit.

  I WAS SHOCKED TO ASK FOR THE FEES OF ONE OF THESE PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN ACCRA. WHEN I CHECKED THE CEDI EQUIVALENT OF THE DOLLAR QUOTE......IT WAS BEYOND THE REACH OF PARENTS WITH A COMBINED MONTHLY INCOME OF 4,000 GOV, WHICH ISN'T THE USUAL.JOINT TAKE HOME PAY OF MANY GHANAIAN COUPLES. TO BE ABLE TO PAY THE FEES OF THESE PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES STUDENTS, THE MINIMUM JOINT INCOME OF PARENTS MUST BE AT LEAST GHC 5,000 PER MONTH.

  It's pay back time for supporting Akufo Addo. Otabil has all along been asking Mahama for this to no avail.
  Mark it, they will get whatever they want.

  Private Universities should fund their own programs. The Government of Ghana is struggling to fund public Universities as they are so it should not be burdened with the obligations of private Universities.

  SPORTING PROWESS, and nothing about ACADEMIC side. All is good, but much
  concerned with the ACADEMIC POWERS.
  Private schools, in many a times concern
  much about SPORTS, but I will not
  recommend that. ACADEMIC SIDE MUST
  MOSTLY CONCERN when setting up
  INSTITUTION OF LEARNING.

  They're usually good in the Management and Social Science Programs but weak in STEM because of the enormous investment required. Some are however pulling their weight. Google Ashesi.

  There are lot of the unperforming universty colleges in Ghana. The worse and useless of it all is MountCrest University College. The college has not been able to graduate a single student offering the science related programmes. They dont even have records on students results. It is time the national accreditation board redraw their accreditation. Parents and individual should avoid buying admission forms from the school
