Special Student Desks have been set up by the Foreign Ministry in 11 nations where there are significant Ghanaian student populations.
The goal of this project, which was introduced by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the sector minister, is to give students immediate help in areas including medical emergency, immigration support, and fee facilitation.
The Student Desks have been established in Abidjan, Beijing, Belgrade, Cotonou, Havana, Lome, London, Moscow, Rabat, Rome, and Ottawa, with the intention of eventually expanding to all diplomatic missions, according to Ablakwa.
Furthermore, because this project depends on reassigning current consular employees, Ghanaian taxpayers will not be charged extra for it.
Monthly reports from the embassy staff in charge of these Student Desks will be sent to the Consular and Humanitarian Affairs Bureau, which will forward them to the Foreign Minister.
“The Mahama administration is determined to end the era where Ghanaian students studying abroad… are left stranded, neglected, and frustrated when they need urgent assistance,” Ablakwa wrote.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to introduce institutional reforms, with the ultimate goal of “resetting” Ghana.
