One frustration the administration of the Ghana Education and learning Company has actually yearly is actually the clamor for admission to a couple of elderly higher universities. Inning accordance with the GES, away from the 721 elderly higher, technological, and also vocational universities that state jobs yearly, over 51 percent of the prospects find admission to lower than one hundred of those universities.
As an example, this year, away from the 525,000 BECE prospects that gotten approved for positioning in elderly higher, vocation, and also technological universities, over 60 percent of all of them desired admission to universities that have actually been actually oversubscribed. The Day-to-day Visuals observes this as a significant lapse, and also the paradox is actually that certainly there certainly are actually just undersubscribed universities that battle to obtain the total enhancement of their varieties.
In the 2019/2020 scholarly year, as an example, as lots of as 35,604 prospects related for the 998 spots at the Ghana Nationwide University, Peninsula Coastline (Classification B school), while Achimota University (Classification A school), viewed 18,918 prospects making an application for its own 1,314 spots. This year, the scenario is actually also even much worse along with the abolition of the Dual Keep track of unit. While in 2015 Achimota soaked up 1,314, this year it may just get 850 away from the 16,617 prospects that desire to increase admission. Prempeh University, as an example, is actually capable tackle just 1,000 away from the 10,060 possible prospects.
The seriousness of this particular year's positioning is actually that all the universities are going to be actually operating a singular keep track of if exactly just what the GES revealed is actually everything to pass. That is going to certainly place more stress on administration as a result of the constant insistence of moms and dads to go any sort of span to get admission to those very subscribed universities. That's why the Day-to-day Visuals sustains and also motivates the Ministry of Education and learning to go after the component university job in each area which is actually anticipated to rear the criterion of the much less granted universities to that of the granted ones like the Achimotas and also Wesley Females.
This certainly is going to decrease the stress on the generally well-known oversubscribed universities. While advising the ministry to go after the component university job, our team believes that it is crucial the concern equitable circulation of information and also university components to all the universities are actually attended to. The existing condition of the clamor for a couple of universities while the remainder battle to obtain the enhancement of their varieties is actually harmful. It breeds skepticism, regarded favoritism, and also the selection of bribes to affect the reposting.
It is actually the assumption of the Day-to-day Visuals that now the administration of the education and learning field needs to have actually performed an examination along with the goal of placing in position a few of the fundamental factors in those undersubscribed universities to overtake those popular universities. That, our team believes, is going to deal with 80 percent of the existing yearly difficulties the GES looks at during the course of the positioning workout. While phoning on the administration of education and learning to correct the concern, our team believe that moms and dads have to assist by approving and also making it possible for their kids to visit universities where they have actually been actually positioned.
