Ayii University and Juba Institute of Health Sciences reduce tuition fees amid economic meltdown
Economic crisis in South Sudan compels two collaborative higher education institutions to cut tuition fees by 20% and suspend certain charges to ease household financial strain.
Ayii University and the Juba Institute of Health Sciences have announced a 20% reduction in tuition fees and the suspension of development and guild fees indefinitely, citing the ongoing economic meltdown and sharply rising market prices in South Sudan. The institutions state that the economic hardship has directly or indirectly affected their operations and that families struggle to pay high tuition, raising the risk of student dropouts. The leadership also plans to provide accommodation and feeding on campus to further reduce the economic burden on parents and students, even though the institutions themselves report limited external funding.
