The National Accreditation Board (NAB) has placed over 400 students of the Kumasi Polytechnic offering a course in BSC Accounting and Computing, on an indeterminate state. This is due to the withdrawal of an earlier accreditation granted to the Polytechnic to run a course in BSC Accounting and Computing.
According to the school authorities, the NAB handed the letter of accreditation to them in September of last year, following which the school began treating the course.
Conversely, the Accreditation Board wrote another letter revoking its earlier decision to grant them official recognition and outlined conditions under which the school must follow if they still want to offer lessons on Accounting and Computing.
But Kumasi Poly authorities say the NAB’s action is strange and smacks of sabotage.
HelloFM’s senior Correspondent, Sampson Nyamekye reports that the students are clearly befuddled because should they go ahead and complete the course, there will be no certificates attesting to their educational brilliance.
“Where do they want us to go?” the enraged students inquired.
Meanwhile authorities at the Kumasi Polytechnic have petitioned the Ministry of Education to help resolve the issue.

I think legal actions should be taken against the national accreditation board. How can you say you’ve withdrawn an accreditation granted to an institution which has met all your requirements after it has started running the program. This is a clear act of sabotage on the the part of NAB. It also shows that those working under the NAB. are not doing their work well. The goverment should step in to prevent the NAB. from acting in such an unprofessional manner. K. Poly should also take legal actions against the NAB. What do they want those students to go. If anything at all, students who have already been admitted and have started with the program should be allowed to complete their studies and duly certified after the period of studies . This is what i think about this issue.
