The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has commended the government and President Nana Akufo-Addo for tuition-free access to tertiary education both in private and public institution for all those eligible.

According to NUGS, this new policy was announced by the Scholarship Secretariat today, Tuesday, 1 December 2020.

NUGS further noted that this new policy adds to a policy previously rolled out by the government, which permits student loans applicants at the tertiary level to obtain such loans without the need for a guarantor.

NUGS, in a statement, said it is satisfied, confident and recognises that in terms of education, the NPP government has consistently rolled out policies which are well-informed and largely well-implemented and, therefore, expressed gratitude to the government.
