Ho Technical University ranked 9th best in Ghana

The Ho Technical University (HTU) has been ranked the ninth best in Ghana, in the World Webometrics Ranking of World Universities.  

Webometrics is the largest academic ranking on higher education institutions.  

The ranking is built from available web data, combining the variables into a composite indicator, and with a true global coverage.  

“This was released in the second half of this year,” Professor Ben Q. Honyenuga, ViceChacellor said.  

He explained at a media briefing at the campus that although webometrics was not a complete assessment of universities, it had a great persuasive effect on the institutions.  

The Vice Chancellor said that the current ranking was a laudable achievement worth celebrating because in 2019 HTU was in the 30s, and in 2020 it was in the 20s.  

“Our current ranking, therefore, is an indication of the fact that we are steadily making progress on all fronts in our bid to achieving institutional excellence nationally and globally,” he added.  

Professor Honyenuga said that in spite of the challenges HTU was facing as a public technical university, management with support from the Governing Council would continue to ensure that students and graduates of the institution compared favourably with their colleagues worldwide.
