Omari said that
students “are waiting
for the government’s decision”, and there is “no time for delay” in light of
the approaching start date of the second semester.
The Lower House, he said, is waiting
on the government for a decision regarding this matter.
Students have fulfilled all the
conditions for benefiting from the fund as announced by the Ministry of Higher
Education and Scientific Research, Omari stressed.
Meanwhile, economic conditions for
citizens are “very bad”, and “some
students are in dire need of grants and
loans to complete their university studies” he said.
“The government is obligated to
secure the required amount to include the rest of the students (in financial
aid funding),” the MP said.
