A final year student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has called on corporate organisations and individuals with resources to support the financing of brilliant but needy students across the various tertiary institutions in the country.

The call by Mr. Emmanuel Jason Asare Adjei was made during a speech he delivered at "Leadership Reflection Forum" organized by the University Students Association of Ghana on 9th February 2024 at CCB Auditorium, KNUST.

The theme for the programme was "Navigating Educational Policies for Tertiary Students in Ghana".

Mr. Emmanuel Jason Asare Adjei, who comes from a family with a strong philanthropic culture, has through his foundation, the Victoria Foundation, helped many vulnerable people across the country.

According to Mr. Asare Adjei, sustainable financing is one of the strong pillars when it comes to one's accessibility to tertiary education.

He has therefore entreated the University Students Association of Ghana, National Union of Ghana Students, Ghana National Union of Technical Students, Ghana Union of Professional Students and others to effectively and efficiently work together with the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFUND), Students Loan Trust Fund, Scholarship Secretariat of Ghana and the CSR wings of corporate organizations to provide the necessary support for students.

Mr. Jason concluded that, all tertiary students should be able to complete their education regardless of family and societal backgrounds and "it is our collective responsibility to ensure that such a beautiful agenda happens."

Mr. Emmanuel Jason Asare Adjei recently paid the school fees of about 11 KNUST students.
