The next National Democratic Congress government will absorbed the school fees of Ghanaian students who would be admitted to tertiary institutions in the 2020/2021 academic year.
The policy, dubbed: “Fa Ninyinaa” is an enhancement of the party’s commitment in the People’s Manifesto to absorb 50 per cent of the school fees of all tertiary students for the 2020/2021 academic year through the “KYEMUPE” policy, which will now apply to only continuing students in tertiary institutions in the country.
A statement signed by Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, the National Chairman of NDC said the revised policy was based on a recommendation from the Party’s Education Policy Group.
The statement said former President John Dramani Mahama, the NDC Presidential Candidate would in due course, throw more light on the enhanced package for Ghanaian students who would be admitted to tertiary institutions next year.
