Public universities are required by the Ministry of Education (MoE) to refund any tuition payments made beyond the 15% increase.
According to the Ministry, such receipts were “illegal,” and action must be done right once to reimburse them.
According to Kwasi Kwarteng, the Ministry’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), the Ministry anticipates that the refunds would be given to the students without delay.
It could be recalled that the Ghana Tertiary Education Council (GTEC) directed all public tertiary institutions to review fees for the next academic year by a maximum 15 percent increment.
However, some students of the University of Ghana have accused the Management of the school of charging more than the approved fees for the next academic year.
According to the Ministry, its investigations proved that UG is implementing about a 37% increment of fees
