The Ministry of Education has directed the Management of the University of Ghana to comply with the 15 percent increment in school fees.
The directive follows a meeting with the management of some public universities and the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) on Thursday, January 5, 2023, to discuss student protests against fee increases.
The school has been accused of charging more than the 15 percent approved fees.
The Management had also explained that before the approval, it was charging subsidized gees against its original gees for the previous academic year.
It, therefore, scrapped the subsidy and charged the original fees.
But the Ministry has directed the school to comply with the directive.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, the Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum said all the universities will abide by the 15 percent.
“You have heard from our great university about steps that they have taken in cases where the fees were over 15 percent. They are doing refunds. They want to live within the 15 percent as mandated by Parliament.”
