External degree students protest against new fees

Accra, July 17, GNA- The Student's Representative Council (SRC) of the External Degree Centre of the University of Ghana has appealed to the government to prevail on the authorities of the University to withdraw the introduction of full fees payment at the centre.

A statement by the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the SRC said as much as the students lauded the university authorities for turning the External Degree Centre into an additional campus they unequivocally rejected the full fee-paying policy.

The students said Bachelor of Arts students would pay 6 million cedis while those offering Bachelor of Science in Administration are to pay 8 million cedis.

The statement said the SRC is seeking the intervention of government and other stakeholders in education to dispel the impression created that the government is in support of the policy
