NDC pledges free tuition for university first-years

YEN.com.gh reported that the NDC has already promised tuition-free education for first-year students in public universities.

It wants to focus on making higher education more accessible to needy Ghanaians.

Africa Education Watch backed the proposal as a promising intervention but suggested that the policy should be more targeted.

Africa Education Watch's senior programme officer, Divine Kpe, said financial constraints were a significant hurdle to some students.

"Averagely, about 50 percent to 60 percent of students offered admission into tertiary schools do not honor their admission due to financial constraints."
