The Minister of Education, , has successfully mediated discussions between the management of the University of Ghana (UG) and the Students' Representative Council (SRC) regarding the proposed 50% increase in academic fees.
Following the engagement, both parties agreed to reduce the increment to 25%.
The meeting, attended by UG management and SRC executives led by President Maradonna Adjei Yeboah, provided a platform for both sides to express their concerns and reach a consensus.
The SRC president argued that increasing academic fees for first-year students from GH¢2,000 to GH¢3,000-a 50% hike-was too steep.
