The latest campaign promise by the National Democratic Congress has got tongues wagging. The NDC's 'No academic fees' policy, targeted at level 100 students aims to alleviate the financial burden on parents and students by absorbing academic fees for level 100 tertiary students. Concerns have been raised about the feasibility of the policy with regards to funding, accommodation and continuity of schooling, for beneficiaries who probably wouldn't be able to afford fees for subsequent years. And some analysts say it must be subjected to scrutiny. Acting Dean of the School of Education and Leadership, Jonathan Fletcher said, "This is the time for all of us to go and see what was promised and what was delivered."
