Formalization of Partnership
On December 22, 2023, AAMUSTED and the eight CoEs signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Accra, overseen by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC).
The four-year agreement underscores AAMUSTED’s commitment to supporting the development of these TVET CoEs.
AAMUSTED’s selection as mentor followed a rigorous evaluation process conducted by GTEC, assessing the university’s capabilities and readiness for this responsibility.
AAMUSTED emerged as the suitable candidate, possessing a strong track record and a mandate focused on TVET and entrepreneurship education.

Smooth Transition for Students
While AAMUSTED now mentors’ students from level 100 to level 400 at the eight CoEs, a seamless transition has been implemented to ensure continuity for current students.
Level 300 and 400 students will continue to have their results processed through UEW, and AAMUSTED will conduct their end-of-semester exams, submitting scores to UEW for their final results and certification.

Therefore, level 300 and 400 trainees in these colleges of education should note that their results and other necessary documents remain unchanged.
They will receive their four-year bachelor’s degree certificate from UEW upon successful completion of their programme.
