The National Council for Tertiary Education Monday asked the Management, of public institutions to maintain the 2016\/2017 Academic Year levels of fees and charges; while Parliamentary approval is sought for any adjustments for this academic year.<\/p>\n
A statement issued by the Council, and signed by the Executive Secretary, Professor Mohamed Salifu, said: \u201cThe proposed fees and charges for the 2017\/2018 Academic Year have been collated for consideration and approval by Parliament.”<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is in accordance with the requirements of the Fees and Charges (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 (Act 793) and Amendment Instrument 2016 (L.I.2228).\u201d<\/p>\n
It said following the decision of Parliament on the proposals, some adjustments may need to be made to the 2016\/2017 levels to reflect the approved levels for implementation.<\/p>\n
The Council, therefore, urged all stakeholders, including the Management of public institutions, prospective and continuing students and the public to take due notice and comply with the directive.<\/p>\n
“…considering that this may take a while and in order not to unduly delay the reopening of tertiary education institutions for the 2017\/2018 academic year, you are advised to ensure that your fees and charges in the meantime reflect same levels as in the 2016\/2017 academic year.”<\/p>\n
The Chairman of the Subsidiary Legislation Committee of Parliament, Mr Mahama Ayariga, has threatened legal action should the due process of law not be followed in getting the 2017\/2018 fees and charges approved by Parliament.<\/p>\n
