Free tuition for first-year university students will proceed despite criticisms – Dr. Apaak

Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaak has reiterated the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) commitment to delivering its free tuition policy for first-year students in public tertiary institutions.

This statement comes amid criticism from some stakeholders, including Former Chief of Defence Staff, Brigadier General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah (Rtd), who recently questioned the policy’s feasibility.

Speaking during a stakeholder engagement at O’Reilly Senior High School, the retired Chief of Defence Staff suggested that parents should be prepared to shoulder the financial responsibilities of tertiary education.

Responding to the concerns Dr. Apaak reaffirmed the NDC’s resolve to fulfill its campaign promise.
