University of the West Indies (UWI) Students Guild president Vedanand Hargobin says thousands of students at the University of the West Indies’ (UWI) St Augustine campus are relieved that they will not have to pay a 20 per cent increase in tuition fees come September 3.
The decision to increase the tuition fees at the campus by 20 per cent was made in 2023, after extensive consultation and research through a special fee committee comprising guild-appointed representatives, actuaries and business professionals, UWI said.
The committee had recommended a 25 per cent increase, but after further representation from the Guild of Students, a consensus was reached on April 20, 2023, that the fee increase would be 20 per cent.
