Minority urges govt to clear tuition arrears for Ghanaian students in UK
The Minority in Parliament is urging the government to urgently settle outstanding tuition and related costs for Ghanaian students in the United Kingdom on state-sponsored scholarships. According to Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, several students have submitted petitions highlighting payment delays that could disrupt their studies and threaten their immigration status.
Afenyo-Markin stated that students at Birmingham University in the UK are facing potential deportation due to unpaid fees. He pleaded with the Speaker to draw the Scholarship Secretariat's attention to the matter, emphasizing the strict procedures of the UK government.
Prince Komla Bansah, president of the 36 Ghanaian PhD students in the UK, indicated in November 2025 that over GH₵5.7 million was needed to clear outstanding tuition fees for the 2025/2026 academic year. The Minority's call emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the potential consequences for these students' academic pursuits and legal status in the UK.
