Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1No, I'm not involved with USI. You'd have to ask them.
The government will hike the registration fee, rely on links with the private sector for funding, merge institutions with job losses (rationalisation), use public-private partnerships, attack the current levels of pay & terms of employment of staff, while the local colleges will introduce new charges for things like healthcare or degree conferral.
And you BELIEVE them?
The planned protests were called off because the programme for government included a pledge not to introduce fees.
Any reason advanced for this decision?
Despite the state of the current education system and the governments plans for a hike in the registration fee to compensate for the defeat of the fees propoasl, USI has decided to shelve the planned protests listed above.
