What is good for the goose must be good for the gander. Why don't you swap the huge ex gratia since it's also a burden on the national coffers. Animal farm government. Ghanaians wake up. Politicians are taking you for a ride.

Your reasons make sense, but how can the government ensure that access to these loans won't be a problem for would-be teacher students? How do we get guarantors to get loans? Some people are not willing to guarantee students to go for student loans due to the fear that the student may default in payment of the loan and the guarantors may end up forfeiting their pensions. I hope the government streamline the process of acquiring student loan.

The tea her training colleges are now tertiary institutions. Like any other tertiary institution the students are to take loans to fund their education and payback after graduation. Now the question I want to ask is who was looking for guarantors for the students in the polytechnics and universities who were already taking the loans? Do you want government to look for guarantors for you? You parents are to guarantee for you.

Telling the nation that telling these poor folks to take student loan that will be repaid with interest is swapping is senseless and stupid.

Access to loans my ass !!! Why should a young teacher starting his life be given the headache of using his salaries to pay for loans? Where is the free education Mahama promised? Even in the U.S where graduate teachers do not have their pay cheques garnished by force, the payment of student loans alone has crippled many young graduates lives. The payment of student loans is a very bad idea for a nation like Ghana.

Go out there and ask if these students have access to the supposed loans Mr Mahama is claiming. The President has nothing positive to offer Ghanaians. This loan thing just came up after so much bashing from the NPP. The truth is that the economy is seriously suffering and this government cannot afford to recruit more teachers and pay them let alone to provide allowances for student teachers. Many graduated nurses are hopelessly waiting for government to employ them after staying home for two years. This Mahama government is clearly not good for Ghana and the sooner we get rid of them the better. There comes a time in life when one has to substitute partisanship for patriotism. I am for change!!!

wait wait wait. what is this good for evil talking about? well, let me go straight to my point. I feel ashamed when l listen to this good for evil man.not because of anything ooo. but I also voted to put him in office. I can't believe it. with the quota system and allowance under good leadership Ghana will nectar. come to think of it, is our president aware that there numerous teachers on the streets of Ghana wanting to create jobs, yes to create to no avail? what is the logic in this bogus policy if it is qualified to be called a policy.

God save this country! If you go for loan at IMF,dev't why do u have to scrap,the allowance of teacher trainees,is not fair,how much are M.P paid for sitting allowance,why cant our leaders have a little sympathy on us,what about the nurses students too,have u scraped their allowance too? If yes where is the money,its time we the youth in this should make wise decisions this year been an election year,we can see how dis gov't has turn the country upside down,i dont know if his surbodnate are giving good advice,i have already seen a fall of his gov't ,are students allowance the remedy to under dev't in this country?, are the allowance sponsord by gov't ,i stand corrected,i heard is a benevolent donation, why dont u talk about cuting down the M.P allowances and salaries, are we not all Ghanaians and equal before the law?,i nearly vote for them this year elections,but no, i guess if they are wise they should restore it,or we give other parties the opportunity. I can see that those from wealthy family dont care of decision in general,the dnt care if the vulnerable are affected. They are state own business that the gov't can generate funds to finance dev't.Another is over bloated contract ,wrong payed monies to individuals,not students allowance can finance it,taxes are payed,how are this monies used, Ghana is not poor,we have made our country as such. And if the gov't is wise,and know the value of one vote,the should keep that money to build schoools,any student nurses and teacher trainee reading this just asses our plight,has the gov't done us gud for scraping the allowances? As his reason is that ,they want to pick more teachers. Thats a disadvantage of not taking public opinion. Collegue students lets not wear party colours for grievances to be met, lets stand on one concensus. #RESTORE_ALLOWANCE_OR_THE_THUMB_WILL_SPEAK. God bless the reader.

President John Mahama is not only incompetent, he is a thief. He has not accounted for the $4m collected from the US government for bringing the two GITMO detainees to Ghana.
He is spending $90,000 to attend a conference in the UK, when his counterpart in Nigeria, General Buhari and other African leaders are spending not more than $3,000. to save cost for their countries.
He is the type who is always waiting for an opportunity to travel outside the country to stash stolen monies from tthe Ghanaian coffers into his foreign bank accounts.
Such a person with criminal pedigree from the time he was the Vice president is not fit to be president of Ghana.
Ghana deserves a better president than we have now!
The statement that the government saved Ghc282 is false, just political talk.

Mahamah is selfish,fellow students, now you have all seen the kind of person Mahamah is. After he had all his education in Ghana free, we were thinking that when he becomes the president of Ghana , education would be better and every boy or girl will get free education.But it seems we were all in a fools paradise,during Mahamah's era he has cancelled all students allowances which was helping the poor people.Now he is again campaigning for another 4 years in power. God for bid,it will never work in Jesus name. Ghanaians are fed up with these gang of thieves and ministers with poison mouths . Ghanaians need a change nothing but a change.Change change change.

Gold & diamond Ghana is made of. Where in the industrial world do they have allowances for teacher trainees ?

Bad policies have retarded the progress of this country for a long time. The loan system is equally acceptable.
