PETITION TO THE COURT OF CONSCIENCE #YENTUA UTILITY

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.

UCC SRC EXECUTIVE COUNCIL DECLARES "YENTUA_UTILITY"

           
Colleagues,it is a sad moment for the Ghanaian student as in the quest to obtain knowledge to serve our dear nation, we stand a great price to pay. Our dreams of gaining knowledge is threatened by the people we believed and hoped to receive assurance with regards to our hopes for a brighter future,and this very people sadly seem unconcerned.

We do  not intend to, by this message blame anyone but we want to clearly state our position on Government's actions and inaction to get the Ghanaian student to bear the COST of UTILITY," it is not as if we have the money and we are refusing to pay but the truth is that we as students and financiers of our education, the cost of utility  of running our educational facility ,JUST CANT PAY" .In the last few weeks, we have observed as our various university management have come under intense to bill students with the utility change. Clearly it comes to us students that university management is acting on external pressure both from the utility service providers and government
We believe, that this is a clear attempt to truncate the educational lives of the poor Ghanaian students. We want to by this medium express our STRONG DISPLEASURE on 
 recent happening, after  our students' leadership was informed about plans far advanced to bill students of UCC with the utility charge and not just UCC, information reaching us clearly indicates that there are attempts of management of school's: KNUST, UPSA,UMAT, UDS, UEW etc to levy students with the said charge
