The government has agreed to enhance allocation to the Higher Education Loans Board (Helb) to support more students in universities instead of increasing fees.

The National Treasury, Ministry of Education and the National Assembly Education committee came up with the resolutions amid protests by university students over an earlier plan to increase tuition fees by three times.
