The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Right Rev Prof.Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante has appealed to the government to roll in students of Private Universities for them to also benefit from its educational interventions.

Rt. Rev. Prof. Mante who was speaking at the third congregation of the School of graduate studies of the Presbyterian University college at Akropong in the Eastern Region said students in private universities are Ghanaians the same way those in public universities are Ghanaians. He reminded the government of its promise to provide loans to tertiary students by the provision of the Ghana card and said Ghanaians are waiting for its implementation.

Rt. Rev Prof. Mante urged the graduands to join the moral decadence that is creeping into the Ghanaian society and promised the church's commitment to uplift the moral values of the society.

The President of the Presbyterian University College of Ghana Rev.Prof. Emmanuel Addie Obeng said it is becoming clear that a number of students both at the undergraduate and graduate levels have challenges with the payment of fees and the University is considering setting up a student fees office that will be charged with the responsibility of raising funds from philanthropist, corporate bodies and interested persons to support such students in paying their fees.

He said University has received approval from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission to run a master of public health program and will commence in June this year.

In all, a total of 348 students made up 202 male and 145 female graduated with masters in education, International Development Studies, environmental health and sanitation, natural resources management, and financial risk management.
