The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has directed public officers in tertiary educational institutions who hold both public office and political party executive positions to resign from their political party roles or be relieved of their public offices. It has, therefore, directed governing councils and management of tertiary education institutions to ensure full compliance with the law. Accordingly, GTEC wishes to remind all heads of tertiary education institutions to ensure full compliance with these legal requirements,” it said. It cautioned heads of tertiary education institutions that public officers serving in leadership positions must not simultaneously hold executive positions in political parties. GTEC noted that the practice undermined the principles of political neutrality, impartiality, and public confidence expected of leaders within Ghana’s public tertiary education system.
