The new initiative aims to remove financial barriers that have long prevented many persons with disabilities from pursuing tertiary education. Under this policy, the government will cover full tuition and related fees for all qualified students with disabilities enrolled in public tertiary institutions across the country. By doing so, the program seeks to empower individuals who often face both social and economic challenges in accessing higher education.

Education experts and advocacy groups have lauded the initiative as a major step toward a fairer society. It aligns with global goals for inclusive and equitable education, reinforcing Ghana’s leadership in promoting human-centered development. Beyond financial support, the initiative is expected to inspire infrastructural reforms that make campuses more disability-friendly and accessible to all learners.
President Mahama’s administration has emphasized that inclusive education is not merely a policy but a commitment to social justice and opportunity for every Ghanaian**. This initiative will open doors for thousands of talented young people who have been sidelined by systemic limitations.
As the country prepares for the official launch, optimism is high that this program will serve as a blueprint for other African nations striving to make education a right not a privilege for everyone, regardless of physical ability.
