On Saturday. August 17, 2024, Newsfile discussed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Youth Manifesto, which promises to abolish academic fees for Level 100 students in public universities.

Unveiled on Monday, this pledge has sparked widespread debate. While it aims to reduce the financial burden on freshers and enhance access to higher education, critics are questioning the feasibility of the promise, its funding sources, and the potential impact on the quality of education.
