Challenges Persist as University Students Struggle with New Funding Model

A year after the rollout of the new funding model for university students, many stakeholders, including students, are still struggling to grasp its details. Education advocates are urging the government, through the Ministry of Education, to hold sensitization meetings with university students to clarify the new model.

This call for action comes amid significant challenges and complaints from students regarding the new funding system. Many incoming university students continue to face difficulties in understanding how the model operates and how to access the funds.

In response, various stakeholders in the education sector are exploring different methods to help both students and parents better understand the funding model and the process for accessing financial support.
