Education Minister Halts Unapproved Fee Increases
The Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has directed the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) to instruct public universities to suspend unauthorized tuition fee increases.
This move follows reports of some universities unilaterally raising fees despite the government's "No Fees Stress Policy", which provides free tertiary education for first-year students and persons with disabilities.
Mr. Iddrisu expressed disappointment at institutions attempting to exploit the policy for financial gain.
