The Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) has raised concerns about a lack of infrastructure, which has made it difficult to admit more students.

Vice-Chancellor Prof. Frederick Kwaku Sarfo revealed that out of 20,280 applications received for the 2025-2026 academic year, the university was only able to admit 13,066 students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

More than half (51%) of the admitted students are female, marking an increase in female enrollment compared to last year.

Speaking at the matriculation ceremony in Kumasi, Prof. Sarfo said with government support and assistance from corporate organizations, the university could admit more students, especially to promote Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

“The university remains committed to adding to its resources annually to increase the number of admissions every year. We can assure you that the number will increase next year,” he said.

He also encouraged students to apply for financial aid from sources such as the Ghana Education Trust Fund, the Scholarship Secretariat, and local assemblies to help cover their educational expenses.

Additionally, he advised them to stay focused on their studies, develop a positive mindset, and avoid procrastination.
