The students have proposed that the amount, which they get from the Higher Education Students Loans and Grants Board (HESLGB), should be increased to K480,000.
Principal Secretary for Education, Chikondano Mussa, however has pointed out that there could be an adjustment but not doubling the amount because that would mean dropping some beneficiaries from the list.
The committee has summoned (HESLGB), the Ministry of Education and higher education students representative to discuss the students' grievances.
In the 2021/2022 academic year, the board has shortlisted 20,786 students.
