I wouldn't be surprised if part of the money for these students has been pocketed by some officials of the GETFund or Ministry of Education.

This is beginning to sound tiring like an old broken record. Same story over and over again. It's obvious the ghanaian authorities don't give a hoot so it's up to the students to advise themselves. Hey sh*t happens.

There are a lot of Ghanaian students who are working two jobs in the same country these political crony children are in.These political crony children wants everything free in this world, for their fathers loot our national coffers free of charge.

Those students working hard to pay their school fees will come home one day and your thieves father will call them bourgeoisie as we heard during that satanic revolution. Come home and attend universities your corrupt fathers have established in Ghana.

if there is no funds to pay their fees and accommodations, there should come home. how do they get the scholarship in the first place, was it not through corruption they got it. what kind of course are they studying in the UK, that they couldn't have studied in Ghana. isn't the same greedy bustard Politian's sons, daughters and relatives they gave the scholarships to study in the UK, whilst the poor Ghanaians pay the full cost of their studies not I believed Ghanaian Universities are well equipped enough, there is no need for Ghanaians to go overseas for studies at the expense of Ghana govt. such studies have no benefit to Ghana,

Jon mahama and all these NDC thieves must be put in prison for life. They must be burned and kept in the lion's den. Mahama is a thief. He came to seal, destroy and kill, just as the devil did. Mahama is a typical criminal that is why everything is going bad in Ghana. He just went to UK disturbing our peace that all is well with Ghana. This GETfund was instituted by President Kuffour without the oil money but look at what is happening even with our oil money. No nation with oil has a problem except Ghana, and it is all because we have a stupid person acting as a president. He is a thief and a fool.

my fellow countrymen,i think there's something here we must all put into consideration irrespective of our political views or affiliation.Although no one is against ones decision to further studies abroad,but i think the question we should all ask ourselfs is that is there necessity for the state to embark on these sponsorship or do the state benefit at all from this process ? and what i know is most of these students after completing their courses turn their back to the state or simply refuse to come back to honour their obligation to serve the state.And some of those who decide to come back also completely choose to abondoning their legitimate profession acquired overseas to aligned themself with the easiest alternative to enrich oneself in Ghana "POLITICS" So my question come's again here,do we still necessary as a state to keep embarking on these sponsorship with tax payers money ?

INCOMPETENT GHANA FROM PREZ TO ALL SECTORS.
This is the embarrassing story of Ghana after 55 plus years of independence from the white man; we cannot get one project right. The scholarship secretariat and now the GET fund have been chopping students allowances for years; it is a perennial problem which never goes away because the leadership of Ghana do not consider efficiency, competence,and accountability as priority. In a hundred years the same story will be told.

This is why Ghana has to look elsewhere to send students on scholarship to study. especially Germany. German institutions pay next to nothing when it comes to fees, and they have excellent universities and would be less costly. UK fees are so ridiculous. in Germany last academic year we paid 52euros per semester whereas some uk universities probably pay about 3000 to 8000pounds a year. germany also has various social support for students in such dire need like accomodation and giving grace period at the university to pay the fees.

Ask Haruna Idrisu and others who fooled some of us (the majority poor) then at the university if the war for institution of GETFund was to be used by the "haves" to perpetuate their lines of succession abroad.
The war for GETFund we fought in 1997-1998/99 was to enable the poor farmers' child to get free education in Ghana so that the issue of cost sharing and cost recovery will not deprive poor of higher education in Ghanaian Unversity in Ghana. Please Harry Sawyer was minister of edacute then. Consult him and am sure our petitions might have been stored in his house if he did not present them to JJ and the parliament then.
I remember it was Kuffuor who changed the import of the GETFund to please his supports. Actually we the poor who were used to champion the institution of the GETFund feel disappointed at the way it has been hijacked by the elite to the extend that we are back to square one where higher education is gradually becoming the preserve of the elites who already have.
Give the moneys to Ghanaian Universities and they can also compete with those outside, don't use it to enrich foreign universities.
