CAIRO – 27 August 2020: The Egyptian government on Wednesday has approved a bill compelling university students who failed their exams and had to retake the course of a certain year to pay part of the cost the state bears to provide free education. According to the bill, the cost will vary according to the number of times a student had failed the exam and the faculty he or she is enrolled in. A university president can also exempt a student from paying the fees in case he or she is unable to pay. The fees will be allocated to improve educational services in the university, according to the bill. The four universities carry the name of King Salman International University, Alamein International University, New Mansoura University and El Galala University, Madbouli noted.
