Abstract

In response to the challenges of enhancing the quality of distance education in Ghana, the National Accreditation Board (NAB), the government agency that is responsible for regulating and monitoring standards of the higher education sector, has introduced certain mechanisms or processes to ensure conformity with minimum standards and also to promote the quality of distance education in Ghana. Drawing on an empirical study, this chapter discusses the NAB’s role in representing Ghana’s government’s efforts to extend quality assurance oversight to transnational educational activities in the country. The purpose of this chapter is to examine how the NAB works and comment on the effectiveness and challenges of ensuring the quality of distance education in Ghana.
