Look up and see where im coming from . Some ppl talk as if all the problems of Ghana began 8 years ago . Why wld they mention NPP when the NDC also sent their ppl abroad. They talk as if. Bryan Acheampong is the first person to buy state property when the NDc sold Nkrumahs industries to themselves .

Good decision. We can not continue spending huge sums of money sending students abroad to study courses which are available at our universities. It is high time we do away with the mentality that everything from abroad is better than what we have at home.

Another foolish , stupid decision by a useless and visionles Government being revisited.Ask yourself stupid Opare Addo what is the PURPOSE of sending Ghanaians abroad to study? When you answer that question objectively, you will see how stupid your decision is.The taxpayers monies your NDC Attorney General is giving to Duffour,, BoG Governor etc can pay Ghanaians scholarships.Valery Sackey during the murderous PNDC era introduced the same order,but sent PNDC people out.These people are just wicked murderers.

Very myopic decision in these era of internalisation.Obviously very narrow minded people will see it as good.Such people only think of kenkey and fish they will eat today.They have no vision. Ask yourself the question why the useless decision now? Was medicine not being offered in Ghana, when Rawlings sent Zenator out?

So my people who disagree with stopping the funding of regular courses available here with government money want us to continue with that policy even it is obviously too expensive and impractical for the nation? Who pays for students and gas no condition that they return after the program? Look at the current case of 181 students from Ghana at the University of Memphis? Ask for their courses of study and how they got awarded and you will appreciate how our leaders refuse the nation's public purse!!!!

With all due respect, please do not use 'courses' as determinants of what scholarships to award. Use specialisations, especially in the postgraduate level. The candidate who needs to study with say, a scholar in Nigeria who has specialised in plane crashes in West Africa, has more need for funding than another who wants to study rocket boosters in Bristol Univ. Focus on short courses in specialisms that Ghana needs now and in the future not just 'courses'. It is not really about MScs. and PhDs.

Stop sending politicians abroad for medical treatment at the expense of the state especially when it is claimed that the UGMC is comparable to any hospital abroad
