The Minister of Education, , says the government will transition students at the colleges of edu­cation onto an enhanced student loan scheme to ensure the delays in accessing financial support by the students are dealt with once and for all.

He said even though that re­mained the plans of government, such transition decision would only be taken based on recommendation that would emanate from the im­peding education dialogue proposed by the President, .

The Minister who disclosed this during a meeting with some Princi­pals of Colleges of Education at his office over the weekend in Accra, however, assured that teacher train­ee allowance would be maintained for the time being.

The education conference, sched­uled between February 17 and 20 is aimed at addressing the challeng­es facing the country's education sector.
