NAB TO CLOSE DOWN ILLEGAL PRE-UNIVERSITIES

The Public Relations Officer at the National Accreditation Board, Richard Adjei has disclosed that some of the illegal pre-universities might be forced to close down if they do not get the necessary requirement to perform their duties.
He says they have written to the education ministry and are waiting for the green light to take the necessary action.
Richard Adjei says it’s not the first time they have come out to caution the public about the illegality of Pre-University programmes.
He explains that the certificates awarded are not a requirement for entrance to the various universities in the country.
He made these comments when a group known as the National Youth Leadership Forum called on President Mills to sack the management at the National Accreditation Board (NAB) because they find them incompetent.
The interim president of the group, Prince Osei Tutu said they do not fit their offices; he described them as incompetent, impotent and incapable of the duty assigned them.

Mr Adjei advises individuals seeking to enter such pre-universities to cross check with the board to ascertain whether they have been accredited to run like tertiary institutions.
