Last week an increment of 15% in university fees was proposed by GTEC for the 2023 academic year.
Ghanaians have roared against the university fees increase imposed on them. The Graduate Students’ Association of Ghana (GRASAG) has rejected the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission’s (GTEC) rise.
Amidst the economic hardships in the country, the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission is increasing fees to burden Ghanaians. Social media has reacted to the outrageous fees.

According to GRASAG, some tertiary institutions have released provisional fees above the approved 15% increment, adding that some members of the Association are likely to drop out of school over their inability to pay the fees.
The association has called on the office of the president and the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission to engage stakeholders on the said topic.
Some universities have increased their fees above the 15% approved rate by Parliament. GRASAG is by this release calling on government and GTEC to halt the implementation of this increment indefinitely to allow for further engagements with relevant stakeholders including students unions,” the statement stressed.
It, therefore, threatened to oppose any attempts by any university management to impose the increment fees on students without extensive stakeholder engagements.
