He said that the government, under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, is pursuing policies to strengthen transnational education as a key lever for enhancing quality and access in tertiary institutions.
“International partnerships are crucial to support this expansion,” the Minister noted, adding that Ghana is open to collaborations that build capacity and align with national development priorities.
