We’ll fulfil promises made to Ghana’s education sector – Dr. Apaak 

The Deputy Minister for Education, Dr. Clement Apaak, has reiterated the government’s commitment to honor promises made to Ghana’s education sector.

Speaking on Joy FM, the Deputy Minister indicated that the government’s policy to support students in the tertiary institutions is two-fold: the first-year academic fees, and the other is to pay the fees for students with disability.

Dr. Apaak further stated that the government has allocated funds, adding that the funds will be available for the needed actions.

“What I know, which is what the Minister has said, is that commitment is being fulfilled. I say it’s being fulfilled because, as of the time students were reporting to school, the John Dramani Mahama-led NDC government had not yet presented a budget.

“Well, you heard the Minister very clearly that we expect to spend not less than 340 million Ghana cedis there, about on this exercise. That is the baseline we are working from, it could be more, it could be less, depending on the enrollment”, Dr. Apaak stated.

He continued: “The allocation has been made, and we expect that the resource will be available to undertake the commitment, as we know for a fact.”
