PETALING JAYA: Private higher learning institutions are allowed to adjust their tuition fees every three years as provided for by the law, says MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong. The Private Higher Educational Institutions Act 1996 allows for this, and the approval given by the Education Ministry will provide details on the maximum tuition fees that the institutions are allowed to charge, said Dr Wee. Dr Wee was referring to a recent statement by Teo that TAR UC submitted an application to raise tuition fees on Oct 23. Matching grants are used for operating expenses and thus help to keep tuition fees low. “Bullying TAR UC is political revenge that will only harm the institution that has trained 200,000 students in the country,” he added.
