In a significant boost to tertiary education access, the Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has announced that approximately 40,000 Ghanaian students will benefit from the Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) initiative in the current academic year.
This comes as President Nana Akufo-Addo has approved a substantial allocation of GH₵499 million to support over 150,000 students across public tertiary institutions nationwide.
Mr Iddrisu made this disclosure during a sensitisation workshop on the Students Loan Trust initiative held in Tamale, where he addressed student leaders, university administrators, and prospective applicants.
He assured stakeholders that the approved funds would be channelled into the SLTF by next week, enabling timely disbursement to eligible students.
