MUBAS MANAGEMENT FACES SCRUTINY OVER UNANNOUNCED TUITION FEE HIKE

By

Students at The Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS) are questioning the Management of the institution on why it is failing to announce the upward adjustment in tuition fees.

According to the students, it is a surprise to learn about the hike through a loan beneficiaries list released by Higher Education Students' Loans and Grants Board (HESLGB) while the University is silent.

The loan beneficiaries list released indicates that tuition fee for The Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences has been hiked from k400 thousand to k650 thousand per year.

A Second Year student in Business Information Systems (BIS) , Frezer Makina, says fees hike is a serious issue that has to be communicated timely and professionally. 


Wondering on the same, a first-year student in Industrial Physics, Innocent Soko, says he suspects the institution has planned to announce the hike during the coming holiday.

“Having learnt what happened to our friends at MZUNI, I am Certainly sure that the university is trying to prevent a similar scenario.” Soko said.

Authorities at MUBAS are yet to comment on the concerns raised by the students

The unannounced tuition fee hike follows similar hikes at University of Malawi (UNIMA), Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) and Mzuzu University (Mzuni) among others.

    MUBAS management should communicate about it in time so that students should be aware because this is a serious issue
