Ghanaian educationist spoke about how the scholarship system could be properly regulated in Ghana

In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, Ghanaian educationist Daniel Fenyi applauded Ghanaian rapper Medikal for the initiative in wanting to sponsor the education of some of his fans.

Speaking about how the scholarship system could be more functional in Ghana, he said that the Scholarship Secretariat should prioritise supporting students who demonstrate not only academic potential but also a commitment to making meaningful contributions to their communities and the country as a whole.

"By investing in the education of talented and motivated individuals, especially those from underserved areas or marginalized groups, scholarship programs can help empower future leaders and drive socioeconomic development," he said.

He also noted that it was important for the government to collaborate with private sector organizations, NGOs, and individuals like Medikal, who are willing to contribute to educational initiatives.

He said that public-private partnerships can leverage resources and expertise from both sectors to expand access to education and create more opportunities for students to succeed.

"Ultimately, the goal should be to create a more inclusive and meritocratic scholarship system that enables all Ghanaians to fulfil their potential and contribute to the nation's progress. This requires not only addressing the shortcomings in existing scholarship programs but also fostering a culture of support for education at all levels of society."
