Ghana's new scholarship board faces student backlash over excluded student representation, with NUGS demanding inclusion.
The Ghana Scholarships Authority's Governing Board was inaugurated under Act 1149, aiming to create a transparent, merit-based scholarship system free from political influence.
While the government confirmed the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) is represented through civil society organizations, NUGS rejected this, demanding direct student representation on the board.
The union argues the exclusion undermines participatory governance and equity, citing past assurances and the GETFund Act as precedent, and threatens to petition Parliament or seek legal amendments to ensure student voices are included in scholarship decision-making.
