Grant payments had been delayed for two years, causing the Minority in Parliament and education stakeholders to protest the delays, which they perceived as severely affecting basic education.
The Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, revealed on the House Floor that steps had been made to resolve the arrears
“Mr. Speaker, capitation grant arrears of GH¢15 million were disbursed to schools in May 2023 and the remaining arrears of last year amounting to GH¢20 million have been released by the Ministry of Finance and are currently being processed for disbursement. In addition, GH¢4.2 million of this year’s capitation is also being processed for disbursement.”
