Context and Recent Developments
This statement follows the directive given by the National Assembly Education Committee on the Ministry of Education to withdraw all university admission letters due to what they termed as potential irregularities in fees charged to students. This is because the Ministry had allegedly charged all students the full cost of the program under the new funding model, irrespective of classification.
Final Remarks
KUCCPS has made inter-institution transfers simple to enable students to make the necessary changes in their studies without much strain. Students are urged to take this opportunity to transfer to their institutions of choice, as long as they qualify for the programs that are being offered.
