KIU confiscates documents of South Sudanese Students
Wednesday, 11 April 2012 07:56 South Sudan >>> . At least 200 South Sudanese Students in Kampala International University (KIU) have had their academic papers confiscated for paying tuition fees as Ugandan nationals. South Sudan's Educational attaché to Uganda Lual Akol, confirmed receiving such complaints from students. "I am aware of these cases. I contacted the KIU authorities and they are still looking for a mechanism of how to handle that," said Akol. One affected student Milton Milla on Wednesday told Radio Miraya that some of them were permitted and have evidence that they could pay the school fees as Ugandans. Milla however says KIU rejects their evidence, saying the students have scholarships from the government of South Sudan. Akol expressed confidence that a compromise would be reached among the affected parties. "Each individual has filled that form as a Ugandan; we here also say they are our South Sudanese students. So it's the three groups, the university, the embassy and the individual students to reach a compromise on that". Nevertheless, the KIU Deputy Vice Chancellor Prof. Hyuha Makwanason said the university will not involve the South Sudanese Embassy, but deal with on individual basis.
