Accra, Aug. 18, GNA, Cape Coast Polytechnic branch of the Tertiary Education Students Confederation (TESCON) of New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Monday appealed to the Ministry Of Education to impress upon SNNIT and the banks to speed up the payment of students loans to prevent any unrest on the campuses.
This was contained in a statement issued and signed by Mr Awankwah K. Filson, President of the Cape Coast Polytechnic Branch TESCON. The Branch congratulated the NPP government for increasing the loan from 500,000 cedis to one million cedis, which it said had gone a long way to alleviate the sufferings of the students.
