The Director of Interparty and Civil Society Relations of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) , Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor, has said that 'no academic fees for level 100 students' initiative was made purposely to cure the challenge of the inability of students to pay for their admission to enter the universities. He recounted how difficult it is for students to gain a university education due to their inability to pay. "This policy was made advisedly to cure the major challenge of fees that over 45 students go through," he said on the Key Points on TV3. For his part, a professor at the University of Ghana Ransford Gyampo said given the fact that some students are unable to pay for their admission fees at the universities, the 'no academic fees for level 100 students' will help those needy but brilliant students. Prof Gyampo says that initially when he heard about the policy announcement he was worried because he thought it would take away the sources of revenue for the universities to run their operations vis-a-vis the dwindling of the government subventions.
