The government has allocated a total of 4.72% of the national budget, equivalent to GH₵490.65 million, to the Ministry of Education and associated agencies within the education sector.
According to a committee report from Parliament, the funding will support key operations such as the GETFund, the Youth Employment Agency, and the Scholarship Secretariat, all of which play crucial roles in advancing education across the country.
Additionally, the budget includes provisions for the completion of the GETFund Office Building, which is expected to improve the Fund's operational efficiency.
A further allocation has also been made under the MP's Emergency Projects and Monitoring Fund, which will receive GHS 96.6 million, representing 0.93% of the total projected national expenditure.
The report also stated that the funding will be used to assist Members of Parliament (MPs) in undertaking development projects within their constituencies, as well as in monitoring the progress of ongoing projects.
The specifics of the MP-related allocations are as follows:
- Each MP will receive GH₵200,000 to fund education-related projects within their constituencies, amounting to a total of GH₵55.2 million across the entire Parliament. This is a significant increase from the GH₵150,000 allocated to each MP in 2024.
- An additional GH₵150,000 per MP, amounting to GH₵41.4 million overall, has been earmarked for the monitoring of these constituency-based projects. This also represents an increase from the GH₵ 100,000 provided for this purpose in 2024.
