Parliament petitioned over hefty UZ fees

 UNIVERSITY of Zimbabwe (UZ) students have petitioned Parliament seeking its intervention over the recent hefty tuition fees hike.

The UZ increased its fees by more than 600%, from $60 526 to $485 500 degree programmes, and up to $1million for masters programmes, a figure learners said was beyond their reach.

In the petition, the students said the fees were inconsiderate.
