Malawi government defends 100% hike in university tuition fees

In a sudden emergency decision, the government has approved a doubling of university fees after multiple institutions formally petitioned the Ministry of Education, saying their budgets were insufficient to cover growing operational costs.

The Civil Society Education Coalition (CSEC) criticized the measure as abrupt and unfair, warning it poses a serious threat to equitable access to higher education.
