The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has protested against the government’s plan to limit the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund).
This results after the Finance Ministry made known its intention to execute a GETFund formula for the year which will see 39% of GETFund levy allocated to its activities with the remaining 61% diverted to other areas.
President of NUGS, Dennis Appiah Larbi Ampofo led some executives and members of the Union to oppose this decision by picketing at the entrance of Parliament House.
President of NUGS, Dennis Appiah Larbi Ampofo contended with the committee to reject any attempt by the government to limit the funds.
The chairman of the parliamentary select committee on education, Kwabena Amankwa Asiamah also pledged to address the issue which was raised by NUGS.
