The Ministry of Health has announced a 50% reduction in Nursing and Allied Health Training admission fees for the 2025/2026 academic year under the Government’s “No-Fee-Stress” Policy.
The Ministry of Health has delivered good news to aspiring nurses and health professionals in Ghana.
In a bold step to ease the financial burden on students and parents, the Ministry has announced that Nursing and Allied Health Training admission fees have been reduced by 50%, effective from the 2025/2026 academic year.
This initiative is part of the Government’s flagship “No-Fee-Stress” Policy, which is designed to make tertiary education more affordable and accessible to every Ghanaian.
Government’s “No-Fee-Stress” Policy Explained
The “No-Fee-Stress” Policy is a groundbreaking educational intervention introduced by the Government of Ghana to support tertiary students across the country.
Through this initiative, the Government has absorbed about half of the approved fees for all first-year students enrolled in Nursing and Allied Health Training Institutions.
By reducing admission fees for nursing trainees, the policy ensures that qualified students are not denied access to healthcare education because of financial constraints.
Commitment to Affordable Health Training
The Ministry emphasized that this initiative fulfills the promise made by His Excellency, President John Dramani Mahama, to create opportunities for the youth while alleviating the financial pressure on families.
Nursing trainees have often faced high admission costs, which limited access to health education for brilliant but needy students.
Strict Compliance with Approved Fees
In the official press release, the Ministry of Health directed all Health Training Institutions to adhere strictly to the approved admission fees.
Schools have been cautioned not to charge beyond the officially communicated fees or demand payment for any items already covered under the “No-Fee-Stress” Policy.
The Ministry has made it clear that any Principal who imposes unauthorized fees does so at their own risk.
The Ministry also instructed all Heads of Health Training Institutions to begin the necessary processes for admitting students for the 2025/2026 academic year, assuring the public that the new policy will be fully implemented.
Conclusion On Admission Fees for Nursing Trainees for the 2025/2026
The 50% reduction in admission fees for Nursing and Allied Health Training Institutions is a landmark decision that reflects the Government’s commitment to affordable education, healthcare workforce development, and social equity.
Under the “No-Fee-Stress” Policy, thousands of students will gain access to life-changing opportunities while parents enjoy much-needed financial relief.
