This becomes the fourth year running since academic fees have been static at the nation’s premier university.

Management of the University have expressed their readiness to upwardly review academic fees, but following the 2016 amendment of the Fees and Charges Act 2009 (Act 793), they would have to seek for parliamentary approval for fees and levies they intend to charge before sending them out to students.

They have not been able to increase academic fees for this semester because parliament has ‘delayed’ in approving their proposed figures.

Whilst some have laid the blame at the doorstep of Parliament, Member of Parliament for Akatsi North Constituency and Ranking Member on Parliament’s Education Committee, Hon. Peter Nortsu-Kortoe, has revealed that Parliament is yet to receive the proposed fees schedule for public universities in the country.
