RM1,500,Tertiary Studies

LONDON (Reuters) - If Manchester United's thrilling and surprise FA Cup victory over Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday was manager Erik ten Hag's final game as their manager, then what a send-off it was.

PETALING JAYA: All initial fees for tertiary institutions have been capped at RM1 ,500 as the government hopes to keep the cost of higher education manageable to encourage more Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia graduates to further their studies.

The cap was also in line with the value of the National Higher Education Fund Corporation’s advance loan.Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, wanted to ensure new students pursue tertiary education and existing tertiary students continue theirs. The move aims to bring down financial barriers for underprivileged students to further their studies at public and private institutions.

Based on top public universities in the country, the initial fees range between RM200 and RM900, with some inclusive of one-off admission and application charges.
