Ghana (UMaT) as a case and examined its implications for administration of higher education in Ghana. Descriptive statistics were used to present the perception of participants. Relative Importance Index (RII) was used to analyze the relative importance of each variable of assessment of facilities according to each responses weight. The graduate students indicated that they have acquired fundamental knowledge in their field of study. Again, the graduate students appreciated the quality of their learning experience. However, two variables (Library resources and Health and Counselling) were not positively perceived by graduate students. The study recommends for educational administrators to appreciate feedback from graduate students and use same for improvement of their institutions.

    Is Our Safety and Security Guaranteed on University of Cape Coast Campus? Undergraduates Students’ Perceptions
    (Sciedu Press (International Journal of Higher Education), 2016-10-07) Owusu, Georgina A.; Akoto, Sika Janetta; Abnory, M.M.
    In higher education like other institutions, safety and security of persons particularly students resident on university campuses remain topical. The limited research conducted on the experiences of university students in Ghana reflects paucity of literature on safety and security on university campuses in Ghana where such issues have been neglected. Yet, there have been numerous instances where students’ study lives have been threatened due to acts of burglary and other forms of violent acts. The issue of campus safety is thus crucial and there is the need to pay attention to it. This study is drawing mainly on perceptions of students about safety and security issues in University of Cape Coast (UCC). Working within a case study which used survey design to obtain a comprehensive picture of students’ perceptions about their safety and security on campus, the findings showed that students are not satisfied with the overall safety and security on campus particularly in the evenings. The students suggested that building more halls of residence, improving the lighting system on campus, and installing emergency phones across campus, intensifying security presence on campus as well as controlling the number of people that enter the campus are sure ways of ensuring that UCC was safer.
