University students have received a major reprieve after the government announced a reduction in university fees, just as thousands of first-year students begin reporting to institutions of higher learning.

In a letter dated July 30, 2025, addressed to Vice-Chancellors of public universities and Principals of Constituent Colleges, Higher Education Principal Secretary Dr Beatrice Inyangala announced the revision of fees payable across all academic programmes.
