The Peter Mutharika administration is not relenting in collecting from every other sector where it thinks it can collect money with the recent news being that the government has approved to the University of Malawi Council that it can go ahead and adjust fees for its generic students.
According to reports, the government has instructed the Council to go ahead with the fee hike which they had proposed to the government. A development that will see the administration on a collision course with the students.
Published reports indicate that the hike will be effective 2016/2017 academic year for the Colleges that fall under the banner of the University of Malawi (UNIMA).
It has been established that UNIMA will be demanding that its first year students which will be joining The Polytechnic pay K380,000 while those that will be starting their tertiary academic sojourn at Chancellor College will be required to pay K320,000.
The students selected to pursue their studies at College of Medicine will be the worst hit as they will be demanded to pay K500,000 while their colleagues in the health sector at Kamuzu College of Nursing will be paying K340,000.
The current fees are pegged at K275,000.
The University also hiked the fees for its mature students.
Well done Gvt we r nt benefiting with this so many called graduates from our universities. Eg 40years has gone since de establishment of Bunda college we r still importing Fruits, hunger is still on our doors. Where r they going? How many r investing in agriculture? Yet they used a big part of our money to get zat education. All in all well done gvt.
But people are paying more than half million kwacha per term in private institutions. Here the unima is only requesting about k350 000 the whole year. I think it’s justifiable. Education is not cheap.

…..That’s why Malawi graduates are considered low class, how can you expect a high quality education without paying for it..? you harvest what you plant in soil. imagine hospital free, education free, food free, so where do you think government is getting money to fill out these gaps? You’re real owners of this land, learn to be on your own. free things are so expensive.
am against #simon barley here how can you think education is only for rich people,,,,,,,,,,we dont need such people like you barley think about the poor
@charles…get my point correct charly, I didn’t say education is for rich only bt i said we must pay for it, if a poor cant afford it then there’s a procedure for government to take care of them.
