Government urged to engage university students in the dialogue process of Diploma bursaries
The Copperbelt University Students Union (COBUSU) has urged the government to begin to engage Diploma students at both CBU and the University of Zambia in dialogue over what it terms sky-rocketing tuition fees at higher learning institutions.
COBUSU Secretary General Anthony Bwalya says sustained dialogue done in good faith, through honest opinion sharing and a willingness by all stakeholders to examine available alternatives will eventually yield a solution to the problem, Diploma students have continued to face.
Bwalya further implores government to embark on a rigorous path of addressing graduate unemployment by ensuring parity between investments in higher education and financing formal job creation and expanding entrepreneurial capacity for graduates within the economy.
And Bwalya has advised people to refrain from trivializing the problems of students by making political stunts out of them.
He says government should continue down a trail of sustainably supporting the education sector as this holds the life and blood of the countrys future economic productivity and subsequent growth.
