The meeting was to update and explain the essential problem at stake, and discuss plans for the immediate integration of the Ghanaian Medical students from Ukraine into the Ghana Medical Education System

The Minister reminded the committee to be innovative in their findings and consider creating a pathway for some of the students who might have some weaknesses in some areas of their studies so they could cope with the Ghanaian education system.

The Education Minister urged the committee to work hard and make sure all the students were placed so they could continue to their education.

Dr Adutwum, who is the Member of Parliament for Bosomtwe in the Ashanti region, assured that everything possible was being done to ensure that the Government’s dream of hitting the 40 per cent Gross Tertiary Enrolment Ratio (GTER) mark was attained by 2030.

Dr Nsiah Asare, on behalf of the committee, pledged to work hard to ensure that the students were placed in the institutions and report submitted on schedule.

A total of 132 Ghanaian students were rescued from Ukraine when the Russia/Ukraine war started with about 28 of them on government scholarship.
