The Ghana National Union of Technical Students (GNUTS) has directed technical universities/polytechnics students still pursuing their programmes of study to pay the last academic year’s school fees.
The GNUTS said this was to await Parliament to scrutinise the pending fees and the approval of the 2017/2018 academic year school fees.
The directive was given in a statement jointly signed by Mr Abdul Rahaman Ibrahim, the Co-ordinating Secretary and Mr Prince Agbofah Awuku, the Public Relations Officer of GNUTS.
The statement said the directive was arrived at by the National Council for Tertiary Education as the 2017/2018 academic year fees was being collated and submitted to Parliament for scrutiny and subsequent approval.
It called on all Students Representative Councils in member institutions to take note of the directive and act as such.
The statement entreated the Government to, as a matter of urgency, constitute the Governing Councils for all technical universities and polytechnics to make way for congregation ceremonies to take place.
It said this would enable students, who completed school as far back as 2016, to be free to find jobs or further their studies.
The GNUTS said it would communicate to members on any new development.
Good work done by Nec. Whiles we wait for the approval of the fees, we edge our leaders( NEC) to also foster the forming of our Governing Councils.
GNUTS, wen exactly r they forming the governing councils of the various technical universities? We rili need our certificates.
Students who completed as far back as 2016 and are about to finish national service really need their certificates so they will know the direction to go.
When is government going to form governing councils for various Technical Universities and Polytechnics. We are in need of our certificates. It’s been a year now since we completed but none of us can boast that we have certificates. The government should as a matter of urgency form and inaugurate governing councils to pave way for our congregation and award of certificates. Thank you
Technical universities/Polytechnics have been down played for far too long. Is it a mistake in this country to attend Polytechnic? Polytechnic Students have been denied equality in this country for too long. The discrimination in our tertiary Education is becoming too alarming!. We need our certificate to take decisions. Three weeks ago, we heard Technical Universities/Polytechnics governing councils have been form waiting for inauguration yet we haven’t seen anything again why? #WE NEED OUR CERTIFICATE!
#WE NEED OUR CERTIFICATE !! #WE NEED OUR CERTIFICATE !!!
