Students from two closed public universities have given the Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC) five days to engage President Peter Mutharika on the delay to open the institutions.
The students from the Polytechnic and Mzuzu University have demanded that the human rights body should have talks with their Chancellor on the closure of the two public higher learning institutions.
The students claimed that they are to hold more demonstrations until the two colleges are reopened.
The current situation between Mutharika and the students seems to have now turned into a cat and mouse relationship following the president’s remarks that he is not responsible for solving every problem rocking the universities.
The students argued that the remarks reflects Mutharika’s lack of commitment in uplifting the education standards in the country.
Mzuzu University was closed after members of staff demanded a pay hike while at Polytechnic students were forced to have near quarter year holiday with no hope of when they are to hold books in their hands for classes.
However, stakeholders have bemoaned the closure of the two institutions arguing that it denies the students a right to education.

This tendency of giving ultimatums to the president and organizations won’t help the university students at all. Its like threatening the very same people that have the power to help. In the end it is the students that will loose. Humble yourselves, this is a small matter.
That’s very sensible broh… Talk some sense in these guys
U re talking bro,this student they behave like kids I dont know why
But these kids are nt learning action must have to be taken at least nw because if we will just watch like ths there will be BOMSHELL
Bullshit!
I think you don the meaning of a small matter. Your argument started very well but the word small matter has diluted it all. How much have passed since polytechnic was closed? You that a small matter? Much as I agree with you that setting ultimatum is and has never been the best solution to problems but you have lacked some reasoning in your argument. This is a serious issue that needs to be attended to asap
Payere Payere agreed
Who is loosing here? Apoly munabwerako ku xool pa 22july up to now muli panyumba koma mkupangabe makan zaziii do you pay xool fees?? Or your parents do it for you sory to say that education shd be expensive those lucky ones got it for free
