Ministry Of Education Responds To NUGS Concerns On The Scholarship Authority Governing Board

 

The Ministry of Education has taken note of a recent press statement issued by the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) regarding the composition and inauguration of the Governing Board of the Scholarship Authority.

We wish to state unequivocally that during the drafting and consultation phases leading to the formulation of the legislation establishing the Scholarship Authority, all critical stakeholders within the education value chain were duly engaged. 

These consultations included student bodies, (NUGS) civil society organizations, and other key education sector partners.

Through this inclusive process, it was concluded that civil society organizations will be the umbrella body on the Governing Board.Accordingly, the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) is rightfully represented on the Board in accordance with the provisions of the law.

We encourage the current leadership of NUGS to engage with their immediate past leadership to fully acquaint themselves with the details of this representation and related processes.

The Ministry of Education remains firmly committed to transparency, inclusiveness, and collaborative governance in the management and development of Ghana's education sector.

 We value the constructive contributions of all stakeholders and look forward to continued partnership in advancing quality and accessible education for all Ghanaians.

Press Secretary to the Honourable Minister for Education
