Educationist spoke on celebs rescuing students from debt

Educationist, Daniel Fenin, lauded musician King Promise's gesture of paying the fees for a student at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW).

He stated that it was highly commendable and reflected the power of celebrities to positively impact the lives of others.

"It's great to see public figures like him use their platform and resources to support education, especially for those facing financial challenges. I would therefore call on all celebrities to make it a project to give scholarship packages to some of their fans, especially those in genuine need," he said.

He further stated that the situation highlighted a broader issue regarding the effectiveness and transparency of government scholarship programmes.

"The revelation by the Fourth Estate that the Scholarship Secretariat has provided scholarships for Ghanaians to study abroad, while there are deserving and talented students within the country who struggle to access higher education due to financial constraints, raises concerns about priorities and allocation of resources."

He also added that efforts should be made to ensure that scholarship opportunities are distributed equitably and that the selection process is transparent and merit-based, and this included implementing clear eligibility criteria, conducting thorough assessments of applicants' financial circumstances, and establishing mechanisms for accountability and oversight to prevent misuse or favouritism in the awarding of scholarships.
