GOV’T SET TO OPEN BORDERS FOR FINAL YEAR FOREIGN STUDENTS – REPORT

The Information Minister, Hon Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has revealed that the government is ready to open the country’s borders for final year foreign students to enable them to return to Ghana following the partial reopening of schools.

He noted that “arrangements are being done with the Ministry of Education” in this regard.

“You know schools are closed except for final year students. So for final year foreign or international students, my understanding is that the Education Ministry has said that they can engage with the various school authorities and some arrangements can be made for them to return and complete their final exams” He said.


The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in his 10th to the Nation announced the easing of some of the restrictions imposed on the country including the reopening of schools solely for final year students.

However, there have been concerns about the fate of final year foreign students who left the country before the closure of the borders in Mach 2020.

According to a report by the information minister Kojo Opong Nkrumah, the government has taken into consideration the concerns of foreign final year students who left the country and would need to return to complete their studies.
