threatened<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to embark on a demonstration in London over their unpaid stipends.<\/p>\nThe affected students said they had not received\u00a0their stipends since September 2016, and thus served notice of a demonstration on Friday, March 3, 2017 in front of the BBC Broadcasting house in London.<\/p>\n
The GETFund, according to its\u00a0statement, is aware of the arrears and has \u201csince the beginning of the year [2017] been corresponding with some of the schools and students as to our arrangements to settle our obligations.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fund attributed the problems to transition challenges which it assured are being addressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe GETFund has been confronted with some challenges recently but these are being resolved. Parents and students are thus assured that our obligations regarding the scholarships will be honored soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
