President John Mahama has unveiled sweeping reforms in Ghana’s education sector, vowing to make quality learning accessible to all as a guaranteed right rather than a privilege. Speaking at a media briefing at the Jubilee House, he revealed that more than 120,000 first-year students in public tertiary institutions have already benefited from refunds of admission fees under the flagship “No Fees Stress” policy. He explained that the initiative was aimed at preventing brilliant but needy students from losing their admissions because they could not pay fees up front. “It signalled a decisive break from the painful era when dreams of young Ghanaians were cut short simply because they could not afford to pay fees,” he said. On secondary education, Mr. Mahama announced that the Free SHS programme had been reinforced with a historic GH¢3.5 billion allocation. He added that a new decentralised feeding system would be rolled out to empower schools to serve students more nutritious and better quality meals.
