Universities in Hungary are willing to admit Ghanaian students who fled Ukraine as a result of the war, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kwaku Ampratwum-Sarpong has said.
The Minister said the Hungarian government has resolved to allow affected Ghanaian students to continue their education in selected universities.
“The government of Hungary has agreed to take those who will be prepared to transfer to universities or to continue education in Hungary, and they are prepared to match whatever facilities and whatever financial obligations being paid in Hungary, so there is a window of opportunity that all is not lost.”
The Minister made this known when received an additional 24 Ghanaian students who fled the war in Ukraine today, Friday, March 4, 2022.
Ghana has been mainly concerned with the plight of students who were in Ukraine when it was invaded by Russia.
The government has been having a hard time evacuating students from cities such as Sumy and Kharkiv who can’t have access to transport to other neighboring countries due to the intensity of the fight in those areas.
Seventeen Ghanaians who were evacuated from Ukraine touched down at the Kotoka International Airport on Tuesday morning before the 24 that arrived today, Friday, March 4, 2022.
The Minister said the government of Ghana had also reached an agreement with the Russian government to allow for the safe passage of Ghanaians, particularly students, who are in the concentrated zones of the ongoing war.
