Next NDC govt will resolve payment of stipend for scholarship students – Apaak

The Minority Caucus in Parliament has described as unreasonable, the delays by the government to release funds for the payment of stipends for Ghanaian students on scholarships abroad.

Some Ghanaian students studying in Morocco under the Morocco Scholarship Programme on Friday, May 24, staged a protest at the Ghana Embassy in Rabat over delays in the release of their stipends which they say have subjected them to hardship and academic challenges.

Speaking to Ahotor news, the Deputy Ranking Member on the Education Committee of Parliament, Dr. Clement Apaak, said the government must act immediately to save the country from the embarrassment of students demonstrating in demand for their allowances in other countries.

I remember not long ago, we had to contend with Ghanaian students in the UK. Before that, we had to contend with Ghanaian students across the whole of Europe, from Hungary to Holland to Norway to Sweden. When is this going to stop?
