Ghanaian students at UK universities face deportation amid funding crisis

Ghanaian doctoral students at UK universities are facing potential deportation due to unpaid tuition fees and living allowances from their government. Over 100 students, represented by a collective, have petitioned UK authorities for assistance, citing that the Ghanaian government owes millions of pounds in promised scholarship funds. Some students have already been deported, evicted, or forced to rely on food banks due to the financial crisis. Ghanaian authorities acknowledge inherited debts of approximately £32 million to UK institutions and claim to be auditing scholarships and making payments, but have not disclosed the amount paid. The affected students attend various universities across the UK, including University College London and the universities of Nottingham and Liverpool.
