Policy initiatives on the right to higher education in Ghana

Tracing Good and Emerging Practices on the Right to Higher Education, UNESCO IESALC.

Access to higher education in Ghana has favored a privileged minority, despite constitutional efforts to prevent discrimination. Gender, region, school quality, and disability still affect access. This case study examines three policies aimed at addressing inequalities: Affirmative action for females, the Less Endowed Secondary School initiative, and Free Senior High School.
