Some Ghanaians on social media backed Bawku’s central deputy for parliament’s motion to suspend payment of tuition fees for higher education students.
Regarding their Twitter pages, many applauded Mahama Ayariga for recognizing the struggle of the people and taking an initiative to resolve it.
They believe that the suspension of fees will go a long way in helping more people than they expect.
Many people have been admitted to universities but cannot afford tuition fees due to financial constraints due to COVID-19. People are really suffering in this Chale country … Thank you for helping us. #SuspendTheSchoolFees

Some students also do not support the motion and some explain that they have already paid the necessary fees.

Meanwhile, student associations, including NUGS and GRASAG, presented a signed petition to Parliament in support of the motion.

The central deputy of Bawku had previously asked President Alban Bagbin to seek the prior approval of the proposal to suspend the payment of admission fees for higher education students in the 2020/21 academic year.
Mahama Ayariga postulated the urgency of the motion on the recent reopening of schools where students who have been admitted are asked to make payments prior to admission.
Let your deputies suspend their ex-gratias first. There is already a huge burden on the government budget with the FREE SHS policy.
Stop following blindly. If members of Parliament want to show us that they care about us, they should first reduce the amount of taxpayer money they take. #SuspendTheSchoolFees

He said the development is rather worrisome considering the country is still trying to recover from a pandemic that has taken a toll on the economic activities of citizens.
Parliament, however, has yet to approve the motion, with the NPP caucus calling the motion “flawed and incompetent.”
I had all the fees the next 2 weeks, and most of the paperwork was done, I decided to drop and continue this year but I was depressed as this was the first time my fees were delayed and it was my last year. I really wanted to do it 🤦 #SuspendTheSchoolFees

The Free University is a policy in itself.
They should #SuspendTheSchoolFees due to the effect of Covid on business.– #SuspendTheSchoolFees (@ComradeSharp) January 22, 2021

You agree that CD19 brought a lot of hardship, which is why you give free water and electricity. So we only ask you to pay higher education student fee only for this semester with CD19 relief fund, you said no you need to apply, you will select your favorite.#SuspendTheSchoolFees https://t.co/f5XMeKazH1

2/2 Remind your MP that he represents you before the party. Remind him that your thumb will be intact for the next 4 years. You may not like NDC and NDC MPs, but remember they care about your education and the impact of the pandemic on your family finances.#SuspendTheSchoolFees # 1DON

#He It is evident that the Covid-19 epidemic has had a negative impact on businesses and left many parents unemployed.
The call for the suspension of tuition fees for the 2020/2021 academic year by the Hon. Mahama Ayariga is a call in the right direction.

What will the essence of Fshs be for, if we can’t move up to tertiary level due to tuition fees in this era of COVID-19 hardship … besides, no one is saying we should go into education higher free but for one academic year#SuspendTheSchoolFees

It has nothing to do with politics or whatever you want to say. Our students also deserve a direct covid relief fund #SuspendTheSchoolFees

The government provided free food and supported small businesses because of the harsh conditions covid brought. Why does he now think these same people can now pay huge fees? Slash or #SuspendTheSchoolFees
– Kenny Brew (@Kennybrewie) January 22, 2021
Even if this does not suspend all tertiary tuition fees, part of it should be suspended. This COVID-19 has shut down many businesses, making it difficult for parents to care for their wards. Hon. Mahama Ayariga is right #SuspendTheSchoolFees

For me, the school automatically postponed me because I didn’t pay my fees by the deadline. #SuspendTheSchoolFees

The government must suspend at least 50% of the fees. Because the amount we pay for hostel fees is already exhausting us #SuspendTheSchoolFees
