The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Kwadaso, Eric Assibey, is encouraging persons with disabilities (PWDs)—particularly those of school-going age—to take full advantage of the government’s policy that makes education free for them from the basic to tertiary level. Speaking during the distribution of essential items and financial support to fifty PWDs in the municipality, Mr Assibey said the government had taken on the biggest cost burden for persons living with disabilities by covering their fees at all levels of education. He explained that while Free Senior High School had eased the burden on many families, tertiary fees remained a challenge for most households. According to him, the no-fee policy introduced by President Mahama and implemented through the Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) is designed to close that gap for students with disabilities.
