We should give them interest-free loans as it is important. They can put up accommodation for students and then we will negotiate the rate of payment and even the rent that students will pay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His comments come in the wake of some first-year students of the University of Ghana said to have been stranded due to a lack of accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the back of this, he explained that with a partnership, more hostels will be built, and students will focus on studying rather than being concerned about where to lay their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGovernment must come out with programmes that will assist developers so they can put up hostels and make it affordable to the students. Otherwise, we will be failing in the provision of quality education at the tertiary level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, he said the committee had already made recommendations to the Minister of Education who is expected to carry the matter to the Cabinet for the necessary steps to be taken.<\/p>\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n                <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ranking Member on the Education Committee of Parliament, Peter Nortsu-Kotoe is calling for private and public sector partnerships to address the perennial accommodation challenges in public universities.
