Government Avoids Questions on University Fee Hikes, Citing Autonomy

Imagine schools getting less money from the government.

To make up for it, some universities are charging students more.

Someone in the government asked if this was happening and how it affects poor students.

The government said that the universities decide their own fees, so they don't have all the information.

However, this answer surprised students and teachers, as they knew fees had gone up.

One teacher explained that the fee increases are because the government isn't giving as much money to the universities.
