"If You Can’t Afford It, Stop Schooling!" - Kelvin Taylor's Firm Position
In a widely shared video on social media, Kelvin Taylor attacked the government's rationale for eliminating the allowances. He said, "This is fundamentally an assault on Ghana's future." Are you suggesting that young people who wish to serve this country should drop out of school if they cannot afford it? This cannot be tolerated!
Many people have criticized Taylor for exaggerating his views, while others have praised him for speaking up. However, it is evident that the discussion is intensifying.
A Systematic Betrayal?
For years, nursing and teacher trainees relied on government allowances to support their education. The sudden decision to convert these stipends into student loans has left many struggling to make ends meet. Critics argue that this will discourage people from entering critical professions like healthcare and education.
Taylor questioned the priorities of the current administration, asking, “Why is there always money for luxury SUVs, expensive foreign trips, and political campaigns, but never for students?” His words have resonated with thousands of Ghanaians who feel abandoned by the system.
