Next NDC govt will resolve payment of stipend for scholarship students – Apaak
For some time now, the office of the Scholarship Secretariat established by the Government of Ghana has failed to pay promised stipend for students on government scholarships studying abroad.
This irresponsibility, has coerced the minority to call the NPP government out. Naming this irresponsible behavior as unreasonable.
Just 6 days ago, Friday May 24 2024, Ghanaian students studying in Morocco under the Morocco Scholarship Program staged a protest at the Ghana Embassy in Rabat due to the delay in stipend payment by the Government.
According to the students, the delay and failure of the government to pay the stipends has caused mental distress and affected academics.

During an interview held by Citi News featuring the Deputy Ranking Member in the Education Committee of Parliament, Dr. Clement Apaak emphasized the need for government to take immediate action to curb this stipend crisis to help save the country from embarrassment as students in other countries protest at Ghanaian Embassies outside.
“I remember not long ago, we had to contend with Ghanaian students in the UK. Before that, we had to contend with Ghanaian students across the whole of Europe, from Hungary to Holland to Norway to Sweden. When is this going to stop?
“When are we going to have a situation where our students abroad will not have to be reduced to puppets and beggars? When they do not have to come out and cry? Is this too difficult to do as a nation? A new NDC government, led by John Dramani Mahama, would address this issue of unreasonable, outrageous delays in remitting our students abroad.”
