Hmmmmm. Go back to Ghana and do what kind of job after Graduation? Even Certified Teachers and Hospital Nurses can't be posted. Those posted and working have not been paid for about two years. How can they survive? Such situations lead to bribery and other forms of corruption in the country. At the Developed West, they can work and go to school at the same time. I have.my sons and daughters at the Masters Degree programs who are working and schooling at the same time. Let them do same. My children are sponsoring themselves and with scholarship.

This is criminal by awarding over 10,000 scholarships in January 2025, . Knowing that NPP has lost election 2024, awarded so many scholarships abroad thinking the students will put pressure on the NDC government to pay them. There are so many postgraduate science and mathematics courses being offered in KNUST and LEGON , so why such expensive scholarships abroad thinking? . Mmmm slow AG again

If I were the president of Ghana, I would abolish this scholarship scam with alacrity! It's a very expensive bottomless pit which serves NO USEFUL PURPOSE!

Mr President don't pay, they should come back home.

Why are we wasting time on punishing those who caused the mess?

Do not waste that huge amount on these protocol students. Come home if you can't pay your fees.

Useless scholarships draining our foreign reserves. Cancel it and let the students ho get jobs to pay for their education or come back home. The huge dollars can ge used for things that will benifit more ghanaians.

These students should just return to Ghana. It is not a disgrace. They can achieve more in Ghana. Our leaders should ashamed. Scholarship Secretariat should be abolished.

Yentua!!!! This is no longer sustainable. Scholarship Secretariat must source funding from private sector and foundations rather than Government

Why are we doing this to ourselves? This huge money can create jobs for those back home.

Majority of these people enjoying the taxpayer money are not coming back to serve Ghana or help develop the country.

The corrupt erstwhile NPP government should be forced to make the payment. NPP government sold scholarships among themselves and plunged this country into debts. Who should pay now? Armed robbers!
