The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, says government is actively working to expand the Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) to benefit students across all tertiary institutions-both public and private-nationwide.
Speaking at a sensitisation and registration event at the University for Development Studies (UDS) in Tamale, the minister reaffirmed government's commitment to easing the financial burden on Ghanaian students. "We are committed to reducing the financial stress on Ghanaian students.
We are currently evaluating the numbers, and we will ensure transparency and openness in the disbursement process," he stated.
The event, which formed part of the roll-out of the "No Fee Stress" initiative, brought together about 1,500 students from tertiary institutions in the Northern Region and parts of the Middle Belt.
