The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has underscored the vital role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in advancing community development and educational empowerment in Ghana.
Speaking through his deputy at the 2024-2025 Academic Year Scholarship Awards Ceremony organized by Relief and Aid International, the Minister praised NGOs for their contributions to equitable access to education, particularly for underserved students.
The event, themed "Beyond the Aid, Unveiling the Future," celebrated the awarding of scholarships to over 45 needy but brilliant students pursuing studies in fields such as medicine, nursing, engineering, and education.
The Minister highlighted that initiatives like these align with the government's agenda to provide inclusive and relevant education through policies such as Free SHS, curriculum reforms, and teacher development. "Relief and Aid International is not only removing financial barriers but also igniting hope, potential, and service-oriented leadership," he stated.
