The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Ghana has announced a significant reduction in school fees for Nursing and Allied Health Training students, effective for the 2025/2026 academic year. The fees have been slashed by 50%, a move made possible through the introduction of the Government’s flagship “No-Fee-Stress” Policy for tertiary students across the country.
This initiative includes absorbing about half of the approved fees for all first-year students enrolled in Nursing and Allied Health Training Institutions. All institutions are strictly required to adhere to the approved fees and items as communicated by the Ministry, with no institution permitted to charge above the approved amount or demand payment for items covered under the policy.
The reduction fulfills the commitment of His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, to provide financial relief for parents and students determined to pursue their academic and professional dreams. The Ministry advises Principals of Health Training Institutions to comply fully with this directive, warning that any Principal who contravenes it or imposes unauthorized fees does so at their own peril.
The Ministry remains committed to safeguarding the welfare of students and advancing equitable access to health training education. Heads of Health Training Institutions are directed to commence the necessary processes leading to the admission of students for the 2025/2026 academic year.
The press release was signed by Tony Goodman, Deputy Director & Spokesperson, on August 31, 2025.
