Teacher Trainees’ to Pay 15% More as Fees for the 2022/2023 Academic Year

A letter released on Friday, 16th December 2022 by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission(GTEC) signed by the Director-General, Professor Mohammed Salifu is directing all tertiary Institutions in the country to increase their fees and other charges by 15%.

He asserted the increment is a result of the Fees and Charges (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2022 (Act 1080). This Act approves of 15% increment for fees and charges for all tertiary institutions in the nation.

The letter reads;

Approval of Fees And Charges For the 2022/2023 Academic Year

I write about inquiries being made at this office by various stakeholders on the
above subject.

The advice we have received is that, alongside the passage of the Fees and charges(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2022 (Act 1080), a 15% increase across board was approved by the Parliament of Ghana for all institutions covered by the Act.

Please be advised therefore that Fees applicable in all Public Tertiary Education and institutions for the 2022/2023 Academic Year may be adjusted by up to a maximum of 15% of the last approved rates.

Please refer to the Second Schedule of the Act 1080 for the baseline figures for your guidance.

For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments made to the fees must
not exceed 15% of the fees charged for the 2021/2022 Academic Year.
