Public universities are reopening for a new academic year amid a financial and administrative crisis, frustrating both students and staff.
Some students are yet to know their new fees after the government announced a reduction of between 15 and 40 per cent on tuition fees that will affect over 500,000 students under the new funding model.
Students, particularly continuing ones, face delayed registration and withheld exam results as universities insist on full payment of fees before admission.
The affected include those set to join university this year, second and third year students.
