David Boakye, the SRC president of the University of Cape-Coast (UCC) has disclosed that students in UCC paid lower fees this academic year compared with that of the University of Ghana (UG).

He said this on Sunday, 15th September, 2013 whilst addressing students of the university in the first session of the General Assembly meeting of the SRC.

“School fees of UCC, we can see it as hard but I can assure you it is lower than that of Legon. I have a copy of the fees students at Legon paid this academic year” he opined.

He stated that, given the breakdown of fees paid by students of UCC this academic year and comparing it to what students of UG paid, it is clear that UCC students paid less.

Examining this issue, he intimated that whilst students offering Humanities and Businesses at UCC were charged GH¢133.00 for Facility User Fees and those in the Sciences, GH¢198, their counterparts at UG who read Humanities paid GH¢151.00 and those in the Businesses, GH¢217.00 whilst those in the Sciences were charged GH¢216.00.
