There is no doubt it offers quality education. However, it has decided to take a deadly path which students, parents and the entire nation might live to regret.
Tuition is increased all the time and the grace period within which to pay the entire amount is very short. In the past we would pay sh50,000 for provisional registration and study for more than three weeks as we looked for the balance.
Private institutions should not hike tuition every now and then and give short notice within which to pay. This is a challenge to a Christian university. We are not at ucu because we failed elsewhere but because we value Christian values and quality education.
