ABSTRACT The Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) was established by an Act of Parliament in 2000, Act 581, to promote the development of education in the country. Notwithstanding the wellcrafted nature and noble intentions of the GETFund policy, its implementation has suffered setbacks. Analysis of data collected revealed that GETFund has been politicized. Its implementation has generated conflict among competing forces including disagreements, suspicions and an effort to sidestep frontline institutions and individuals tasked with the responsibility to administer the fund. These political interferences the study revealed have undermined the attainment of the objectives of the Fund. Proposals to improve on the implementation of GETFund such as a depoliticized process of application of GETFund would free it from the manipulations by politicians and their bureaucratic collaborations. Keywords: Politics, Policy Implementation, Educational Financing.
