University records drop in international student enrolment

This year, Ghana’s premier tertiary institution, the University of Ghana, recorded a huge drop in the number of international students who enrolled in the institution to pursue various academic programmes, reports Ghana Web.

This was indicated at a matriculation ceremony held on Saturday 13 February to officially welcome newly admitted students into the academic community. According to figures from university authorities, a total of 96 international students have so far been registered for the 2020-21 academic year. The number is far below the 306 the institution recorded in 2018 and 409 recorded in 2019.

The drop in international student enrolment this year is believed to be a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
