General News of Tuesday, 6 January 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comDeputy Minister for Education, Dr Clement Apaak, has said that his oufit does not support the fee hikes and has directed that all charges remain at last academic year’s approved levels. “We do not agree with the 25% fee increment, whether by the SRC or GRASAG,” he stated, adding that fee decisions must not impose undue hardship on students. Dr Apaak further directed that any fees already paid under the new structure should be reversed immediately. His comments come against the backdrop of a strong regulatory directive from GTEC ordering the University of Ghana to reverse recent fee increases imposed without the required statutory approvals. “Informed by this, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission, by this letter, requests the University of Ghana to do the following,” the letter stated, before outlining corrective measures.
