The NDC's Youth Manifesto The Youth Manifesto launched by the National Democratic Congress has many promises. One that seems to resonate with the target audience most is the "No Fee Stress Initiative". Details of this policy are, however, not certain as two documents that were read at the same event had varying explanations on what prospective level 100 students stand to benefit. On Page 6 of the Youth Manifesto titled "The Pledge: The John Mahama 2024 Pledge to Young People," the author wrote, "We will implement a no-fees stress programme to alleviate the financial burden on parents and students in financing tertiary education. We will implement a 'No Academic Fees' policy at the university for level 100 students." It added, "Redeploy the Student Loan Trust Fund Plus (SLTF Plus) to give continuing students the option to utilise students' loans to finance directly their university fees to guarantee the peace of mind of the student to study" However, in his 7-paged speech former president John Mahama, who launched the document stated, "We will also launch the 'No Fee Stress Initiative,' providing fee-paying support to eligible students through the Student Loan Trust Fund (STLF).
