He said moreover, they have been promised by our Chancellor, President Robert Mugabe in the Zim-Asset and further assured by the Minister of Higher and Tertiary education, Prof. Jonathan Moyo in December last year that government and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe have put into place systems to roll out academic loans and grants for the students.
"Thus there is no justification for anyone to deny any student their inalienable right to education. It is indeed high time as students we put an end to the massive deferments and school dropouts which currently account for the absence of 42 thousand students from class due to exorbitant tuition fees. It is now the time we put a stop to students o who attachment working without allowances despite paying full school fees," he said.
"The Zimbabwe National Students Union would like to call on all Students to be ready for a massive #FEESDOWN campaign if any institution of education decides to go against the constitution and the chancellor and ministers public directives. In turmoil and tenacity, victory is certain."
