No increase in university tuition fees -Minister

There will not be a tuition fee increase in public or private universities for returning students, said Higher Education Minister Ashraf El Sheehy, Ahram English reported. Private universities will be bound by a “code of honor” to maintain a cap on fees for returning students, he says, but will be able to increase fees by 5% for new students. Additionally, universities will not require a portion of their fee in foreign currency, he added.
