Accra, July 20, GNA – The Students’ Representative Council (SRC) of Institute of Professional Studies (IPS) has appealed to the Government to absorb the 10 per cent increment on academic user fees to lessen the financial burden on students.
It said even though IPS was a full-fledged public tertiary institution, it charged exorbitant fees, making most of the students to constantly either defer their courses or fail to graduate because of lack of means to settle the fees.
Mr. Hayford Baah Tawiah, President of SRC of IPS, who made the appeal at a press conference in Accra on Tuesday, gave government a week’s ultimatum to respond to the issue or students would advise themselves.
“If we do not see any positive action from government by the end of this week, we would call for students to hold on with the payment of the fees and would fully cooperate with them on whatever they want us to do while operating within the laws of the Institute and Ghana”, he added.
