The nation has seen an increase in entry into educational institutions since the early 90’s to 2012. But it is sad to note that entry has declined up to 2016. This implies that quality education is gradually becoming a privilege for the ‘rich’ or “well to do” and not a "right for all".
The sad aspect is that the rich are these same people who either toiled to be educated and are now lawmakers of the country, or had a silver spoon from their mouth from cradle due to the toiled of their predecessors, or stood before us and lifted our hopes of a better future in terms education as they craved for our votes.
The students of Ghana are tired of being ripped off every single content of the COST SHARING POLICY. From allowance, through and now to UTILITY. We shall not sit for this to happen. THE SILENCE IS BROKEN.
To the National Governing Cabinet, WHERE IS THE CONSCIENCE? What happened to the hopeful promises of better education? If it is about building more schools then am sorry. Because building more schools is useless in the face of unaffordable education. What then will happen to the cocoa farmer’s daughter who waits till harvest time t see her fees paid? What happens to that young man who has to engage in illegal mining with his life at risk in order to settle his hostel, tuition and other expenses.
To the student’s leaders, where lies the conscience? What happened to the promises of better measures to ensure better education. You promised to defend us in the OATH OF OFFICE so why are most of you silent? I believe Okyeame Kwame's “WOARA” should be dedicated to you.
The Government should issue an official statement that GHANAIAN STUDENTS SHOULD NOT PAY UTILITY BILLS. For it is only then, that student shall be at rest.
WE’RE TIRED OF HIDE AND SEEK by the government.
WE’RE TIRED OF HYPOCRACY from some student leaders.
WE’RE TIRED OF THIS UTILITY.
WE SHALL STRIFE
WE SHALL FIGHT
WE SHALL WIN
#YENTUA# _UTILITY
A LUTA CONTINUA, VICTORIA ASCERTA
AGYEKUM PRINCE ADJETEY
(OGUAA HALL PRESIDENT)
