President John Dramani Mahama has officially launched the “No Fees Stress” policy, a landmark initiative aimed at making tertiary education accessible to all Ghanaians, regardless of their financial background.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the launch event in Koforidua, Eastern Region, the President announced that academic user fees have been cleared for an initial 15,000 first-year tertiary students.<\/p>\n
“This is just the beginning,” President Mahama emphasized, reiterating his administration’s unrelenting commitment to bridging the financial gap in tertiary education.<\/p>\n
“Let it be known across this land that, from today, no Ghanaian child will be denied tertiary education simply because they cannot afford the academic fees,” he declared.<\/p>\n
He underscored the significance of this policy in building a more just society, where every individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential.<\/p>\n
“This is the path to a more just society. This is how we build a future where no dream is deferred, and no potential is wasted,” he stated.<\/p>\n
The “No Fees Stress” policy is a flagship initiative designed to eliminate financial barriers to tertiary education in Ghana. Under this programme, the state will cover academic-related fees for all first-year students enrolled in public tertiary institutions, starting from the 2025 academic year. This bold move is set to revolutionize access to higher education, empowering countless students to pursue their academic aspirations without the burden of financial constraints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
