The Ministry of Education, led by Principal Secretary Dr. Beatrice Muganda Inyangala, has announced changes to how universities disclose fees, aiming to make higher education more accessible. The revision, prompted by concerns from Members of Parliament, will require universities to indicate fees expected at the household level, excluding government funding contributions. This move addresses complaints that previous fee disclosures were discouragingly high, deterring students from enrolling. Additionally, the Ministry will review the criteria for financial aid distribution and address funding delays that have impacted students and universities. The changes are part of efforts to ensure students choose courses based on their qualifications rather than financial constraints.
