KUALA LUMPUR: Students at public higher learning institutions will get a reduction of up to 15% for their hostel, administrative and activity fees, says Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad. "From the discussion, the government has agreed to reduce the rate of the hostel, administrative and activity fees in public universities by up to 15%. The remaining RM52mil will be from internal allocations of the public universities derived from the savings during the movement control order (MCO) period. "Some 523,318 students in public universities nationwide are expected to benefit from this decision," said Noraini. Realising this, the government has asked public universities to help students by sending the relevant materials via post so that they won't be left behind in their syllabus.
