The President also assured the Ministers that challenges associated with the implementation of the rebate to Presbyterian students offering various programmes at the University, and issues of fee payment of students being sponsored by the Church would be tackled with urgency.
He appealed to the Presbyteries of the Church to consider the Moderator’s proposal to the last General Assembly for the Presbyteries to institute a scholarship scheme for brilliant students who benefited from the free education at the Senior High School level who do not have the financial support for tertiary education.
