Universities refuse to register 50 000 cadetship students

Felex Share Herald Reporter
STATE universities are refusing to register more than 50 000 tertiary students who are on the cadet­ship programme before Government clears outstanding payments.
Zimbabwe has 10 State universities, which are owed close to US$100 million by Govern­ment.
Students with outstanding payments have been barred from attending lectures and accessing results.

Government introduced a cadetship pro­gramme in which it pays the fees for those who enroll in different programmes.

In return, students must work in Zimbabwe after college for an equal number of years they received funding.
Higher and Tertiary Education Minister Stan Mudenge on Friday said the complaints by the universities were genuine.

He blamed the Government’s non-payment of fees to the universities on the Ministry of Finance, which he described as the “unreason­able partner”.

Government, said Minister Mudenge, had only released US$1 million for the pro­gramme this year out of the required US$42 million.
Minister Mudenge said he met Finance Minister Tendai Biti recently over the issue, but no money had been released.

“Treasury is not paying the money it prom­ised in the budget,” he said.
“The unreasonable partner is Treasury not the universities. I met him (Minister Biti) two weeks ago and he said he would release some­thing straightaway but he has not done any­thing.
