These policies and regulations emanate from national and international levels. **Table 1** presents these policies and regulations.

**Table 1** shows that the study identified 13 tertiary education relevant policy regulatory frameworks have existed from 1951 to 2019 to guide tertiary education delivery in the country. 10 of these policy frameworks have been produced at the national level whilst three of three of them were identified at the international or global level.
