However, the National Secretary General of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), Jefferson Tamba Koijee, has highlighted a concerning issue regarding the imposition of graduation fees that undermines the true intent of the pro-poor educational policy. Koijee, however, argues that imposing graduation fees on students after lifting the burden of tuition fees contradicts the spirit of the tuition-free policy. To address the issue of graduation fees, Koijee has taken action by writing to the Minister of Education and the President’s office, seeking immediate redress. This proactive approach demonstrates the party’s commitment to rectifying the situation and ensuring the effective implementation of the tuition-free policy. Koijee also draws attention to the uniqueness of graduation fees in Liberia, highlighting that during a visit to the University of Oxford, he discovered that such fees were not imposed.
