  "summary": "The Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) and the Education Financing and Partnership Initiative (EFPI) have been explained by their respective officials on JoyNews’ AM Show. GETFund's mandate is to provide supplementary government funding for educational infrastructure and facilities within the public sector, with a focus on pre-tertiary to tertiary levels. Scholarships, although important, make up only about 5% of its activities. EFPI, established in 2005, complements GETFund's efforts by bringing in the private sector, alumni associations, religious bodies, and individuals to support education. Areas of focus for EFPI include building educational infrastructure, supporting TVET, improving STEM education, and providing essential educational materials.",
