Level 100 students won’t pay fees if I’m elected – Mahama

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama says that first-year tertiary students will not pay academic fees.

According to him, this is part of a government initiative to lessen the burden on parents financing the cost of their children's education.

“We will implement a no-fees stress programme to alleviate the financial burden on parents and students in financing tertiary education.

“We will implement a no academic fees policy at the university for level 100 students,” he said.

He made these comments at the NDC’s manifesto reading on August 12.

Mr Mahama also said that the party will redeploy the Student Loan Trust Fund to give continuing students the option to utilise student loans to finance their university fees directly, ensuring peace of mind for the students to focus on their studies.
