ABOLISH IRRELEVANT VARSITY FEES TO REDUCE STUDENTS’ BURDEN
KUALA LUMPUR -- A Johor Bahru Member of Parliament (MP) today requested that the Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) make it compulsory for all higher education institutions (IPT) and universities to abolish irrelevant tuition fees to ease students’ burden while the country is still facing the COVID-19 pandemic.
Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir said the fees for hostel, library and sports facilities must be abolished as students are now learning online and not using the universities’ facilities.
“Previously, the MOHE has allowed public university students a fee reduction of up to 35 per cent, but until today, students are still complaining that they are required to pay those fees even when they are not on campus,” he told a press conference at the Parliament Building here today.
