SOME INFO ON WHERE WE'VE BEEN
The Ghana Union of Professional Students which began as a Society for Professional Institute(SPI) in the 1990’s had tertiary institutions like the Institute of Professional Studies now UPSA, the Ghana Institute of Journalism, The National Film and Television Institute (NAFTI), Ghana Institute of Languages (GIL), Ghana School of Surveying and Mapping (GSSM) and other professional institutes as it founding members.
The then Society for Professional Institute (SPI) evolved through constitutional and structural adjustment, to become the Ghana Union of Professional students in 2001 after more professional universities had been ratified into her fold. Currently, the union remains the single and largest umbrella body of professional students in the country. GUPS is now made up of 32 ratified institutions and is headquartered in the former PWD building adjacent the Independence Square, Accra.
