Quotes or Official Remarks:
Felix Gyamfi highlighted the improved integrity of this year’s process, stating:
“This process has effectively eliminated any form of inflated or bogus submissions. As a result, this year’s figures are on average 26% lower than the numbers received over the past three years, with a peak reduction of 36% compared to the 2022/2023 session.”
He also addressed concerns about unaccredited institutions:
“Unless these institutions formalize their accreditation process status within 30 days, their graduates would not be mobilised.”
On the newly introduced military training initiative, Mr. Gyamfi added:
“Selected service personnel may participate in this pilot programme, which will not affect overall placement.”
