[3] The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) is an official government body in Ghana that operates under the Ministry of Education, working closely with the Government of Ghana to promote student welfare, shape educational policies, and contribute to national educational development.
As the official representative organization for students at all academic levels, NUGS unites and oversees various student blocs, ensuring strong advocacy, effective policy implementation, and reforms centered on student interests that align with the country’s broader development goals.
The organisation can trace its origins to the Union of Gold Coast Students in West Africa, which was founded in the 1930s.
