Harmonising tuition fees will boost the EAC integration process

The President of the Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA) has urged tertiary institutions in the East African Community to eliminate all discriminatory tuition structures on students from within the EAC.A survey by this newspaper, last week, indicated that, where as Rwandan institutions of higher learning charge students from other EAC member states the same amounts as Rwandan students are required to pay, the situation is different in the other member countries which treat students from the other East African region as international students.
