The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has announced that the government is actively working to extend the student loan scheme to include students in private tertiary institutions.
He believes this move will bring significant relief to many students who struggle financially to access higher education.
Speaking at the inauguration of the new Board for the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) in Accra on April 25, Haruna Iddrisu stated, “Government is considering expanding the student loan scheme to all deserving students in the country, whether in public or private institutions.”
