According to a decision made by Professor Ahmed Mudawi Musa, the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the new registration fee for students in both undergraduate and diploma programs at public and private higher education institutions will not exceed 600,000 pounds. This move aims to regulate university fees and provide relief to students.
The new registration fee includes costs for medical check-ups, university ID cards, and access to university libraries for the entire academic year. This decision was made based on the recommendations of the Academic Year Fees Committee meeting number 1 of 2026.

The Ministry has emphasized that this decision is part of its efforts to support students and provide them with a better learning environment.
Education experts and stakeholders have welcomed the decision, citing the need for affordable education.
