Funding higher education at College of Agriculture Education in Mampong: the role of internally generated Fund

Abstract

Over the years, attempts have been made by the public that universities should be funded fully by their Internally Generated Funds due to constrained on public funds and the huge financing of the universities. One of the major problems now facing the Ghanaian public universities is the problem of under-funding. Therefore it has recently become nationally referenced for building up public universities in Ghana. For these, an internally generated fund deserves the attention of policy- makers of the universities and scholars. This has led to several works being explored into such a proposal. This study aims to examine to what extent internally generated funds could be used to financed universities. The study offers a descriptive analysis of the components of internally generated funds. The study reveals that there are lots of resources, and when harnessed effectively would have enormous positive effect on the financial structure of the College. Therefore major funds generating problems that do not allow free flow and effective collection of funds should be eliminated.
