Committee on conversion of Polytechnics to Technical Universities submits report to government

The Deputy Minister in Charge of Tertiary Education, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, says the special committee set up by President Mahama, to see to the conversion of all polytechnics to technical universities has completed its work and submitted its report to the Minister of Education. 

He said a cabinet memo is being prepared and a road map will be announced soon. 

On POTAG, Mr Ablakwa said it is unfortunate that the Polytechnic Teachers Association of Ghana, decided to go ahead with the strike after deliberations with them. 

He said the allowance is paid at the end of every academic year which is September, and that the 2012/2013 allowance was paid in September last year.
