The Ghanaian government just set aside almost GH¢500 million to make first-year college free at public schools. Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson shared this plan with lawmakers as part of next year's budget. This money helps families who struggle with school costs. The program carries the name "No-Fees-Stress" because it removes money worries for new students.
Many young people skip college because they can't afford it. This new approach lets them start their education without paying tuition fees. Public universities across Ghana will open their doors to students regardless of their financial situation. The government believes education creates opportunities for everyone and builds a stronger nation.
Kofi Asare from Education Watch thinks this plan makes sense. He posted on Facebook that the education budget looks surprisingly strong despite economic challenges. Mr. Asare plans to examine the full budget document later. He believes reducing college costs helps develop talent and creates skilled workers the country needs.
Some people wonder if Ghana can keep paying for free college years from today. The program needs careful planning to last beyond its first phase. Many families feel excited about these changes and hope for a fair education system. This represents one step toward making higher learning available to all Ghanaians regardless of their bank accounts.
