The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has urged the government to quickly resolve the delayed stipend payments to Ghanaian students studying in Morocco.<\/p>\n
According to the student body, the stipend payments to the affected students have been delayed for 10 months, with many of them facing imminent expulsion from their academic programme\u00a0and eviction from their accommodations.<\/p>\n
At a news conference in Accra, NUGS President, Daniel Oppong Kyeremeh, expressed concern about the situation and stated that the financial\u00a0constraint had put\u00a0the affected students\u00a0in distress.<\/p>\n
He appealed to the Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, to personally intervene for the Ghana Scholarships Secretariat to promptly disburse payment.<\/p>\n
He said the Ghanaian students, on Monday, May 24, 2024, took to the streets of Rabat in Morocco to complain about the unpaid stipend, which is having ravaging effects on their living and studies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis situation is extremely alarming and unacceptable,\u201d the NUGS President remarked, and added that the country has a duty to protect its citizens who have been sent abroad for academic pursuit.<\/p>\n
What concerns NUGS President\u00a0even more is the female students\u2019 inability to purchase sanitary pads, which he describes as \u201cbeyond degrading and dehumanizing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The student body said it has reached out to some of these students and they have indeed confirmed these distressing situations. What further exacerbates the dilemma, Mr. Osei-Opare said is reportage to NUGS, in regard to Ghanaian students of the 2022\/24 cohort in Serbia.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn their case, it is asserted that they have not received their stipends for 12 months. NUGS are yet to obtain all the facts, but we urge all stakeholders to consider the situation of the aforementioned group as well,\u201d Mr. Kyeremeh said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is further regrettable to note that despite the public outcry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is yet to respond to this urgent matter. That is, in all aspects, spheres and scopes,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Additionally, he disclosed that NUGS has asked Madam Osei-Opare and Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, to assist in addressing the issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have assured us that the necessary actions are being taken,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese students need immediate relief and we urge the relevant authorities to expedite action on stipend payments,\u201d he intimated.<\/p>\n
The NUGS President again called for a downward review of the interest on the student loan, pointing out that the current rate has put many students in financial distress.<\/p>\n
