Vice President Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has announced that the government's flagship "No Fees Stress" policy will officially be launched on Thursday, July 4, 2025.
This initiative is designed to remove financial barriers to higher education for first-year students enrolled in public tertiary institutions.
Speaking at the 58th Special Congregation of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi on Saturday, June 28, Professor Opoku-Agyemang hailed the policy as a "game-changer" for enhancing access and equity within Ghana's tertiary education sector. "One of the models that enhances access to quality education is the No Fees Stress policy," she stated. "Through this policy, first-year students in public institutions will be exempted from paying academic-related fees," she added.
The Vice President revealed that by mid-June, nearly 130,000 students had accessed the dedicated "No-Fee-Stress" portal, with over 100,000 having already completed their applications.
