CBA: What public university lecturers want

HILLARY BETT

Crisis looms in universities over funding for students and threats by lecturers to go on strike over the failure of the government to implement a salary deal signed last year.

The New University Funding Model that was introduced last year was in December declared unconstitutional by the High Court plunging students into anxiety.

However, the government has assured students that they will continue to receive funding under the new model, allaying fears of a crisis.

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba says there should be no cause for alarm as the government has released money to students’ accounts.
