A former Deputy Rector of  the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) has lamented over the significant dip in teaching and learning at the institute.

Professor John Bright Aheto indicated that GIMPA has lost its glory as being the most outstanding tertiary institution in the country. 

He explained in a discussion on Accra based ClassFM on Thursday, 15 August 2019 that there is a general decline in educational standard in Ghana with the exception of Ashesi University.

According to Prof Aheto, GIMPA has lost its name recognition among Ghanaians owing to a fall in the standard of teaching and learning.

He has, thus, advised the current management of GIMPA to do a self-introspection, fish out the problems accounting for the dip in standards and address them.

“GIMPA has retrogressed significantly”, he said, adding: “GIMPA needs to go back and find out what it was doing well”.

“It has retrogressed in the sense that the image of GIMPA is not what it used to be between 2000 and 2005.

“People no longer know GIMPA. It is no longer the star that it used to be in Africa.”

“Teaching and learning have also gone backwards”, he asserted, adding: “Generally, teaching and learning everywhere in all the universities have gone backwards except Ashesi University.”
