KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 — A total of 386,142 students of public universities in the country will benefit from the RM185.7 million fee reduction initiative implemented by the government to help those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), in a statement, said the reduction of between 10 and 35 percent was given following a circular issued by the Higher Education Department (JPT), dated March 22, to public universities (UA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fee discount covers for service, hostel, convocation, and college activities for Malaysian students in the second semester of the 2019\/2020 academic session and will be extended to Malaysian students in semester two of the 2020\/2021 academic session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The fee reduction for the second semester of the 2019\/2020 academic session involves an allocation of RM75 million, of which RM20 million is an additional government allocation and RM55 million using UA’s internal resources,” it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MOHE said the fee reduction for the first semester of the 2020\/2021 academic session would involve RM70.2 million and RM40.5 million for the second session of the 2020\/2021 academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move by MOHE, it said reflected the government’s concern in addressing the financial burden facing students and parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
