Student Loans

Prof. Naana Opoku Agyemang says the next NDC government intends to increase the students’ loan amount to be commensurate with prevailing educational costs

“As a long-time investment in financial access beyond coverage, we intend to increase the students’ loan amount to be commensurate with prevailing educational costs.

“We will restore the students’ loan plans initiative that we created, which takes care of newly admitted students who are facing financial difficulties even in paying their admission fees. This loan repayment will only begin when beneficiaries gain employment after school.”
