Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 68504, member: 636"] Ghana's Education Minister has pledged to prosecute university administrators who levy unsanctioned charges on incoming students covered under a national scholarship program. Haruna Iddrisu told Agyenkwa FM on Wednesday, November 6, that his ministry would pursue legal remedies against any personnel circumventing policies designed to reduce financial pressures on families. The scholarship initiative under President John Dramani Mahama eliminates tuition costs for first-year enrollees at public institutions. Iddrisu characterized the alleged fee collections as detrimental to expanding educational access and warned that enforcement measures would serve as a warning to others. He indicated that investigations are underway at several campuses where complaints have surfaced regarding improper billing practices targeting new admissions. [/QUOTE]
