NAB seeks mandate to crack whip on tertiary institutions flouting regulations 

The National Accreditation Board (NAB) is seeking the mandate to empower it to crack the whip on institutions flouting the rules and regulations governing tertiary education in the country.

The National Executive Secretary of the board, Mr Kwame Dattey, who announced this said the board is taking steps to amend the National Accreditation Board Act, 2007, and added that when amended, the Act would empower the board to close down unaccredited institutions.  

Mr Dattey was speaking at a lecture to mark the 63rd Founders Day anniversary of the Keta Senior High School in Accra. 

Mr Dattey said currently, the Act does not empower NAB to sanction erring institutions.
