Zimbabwe’s Higher Education Minister, Prof. Amin Murwira, emphasized the importance of the ‘work for fees’ program in facilitating access to higher education for underprivileged students.
He noted that Midlands State University has already enrolled over 300 students through this initiative, highlighting its effectiveness in addressing tertiary fees affordability.

Minister Murwira’s remarks came in response to questions raised about the challenges faced by students in meeting the financial requirements of pursuing higher education. By enabling students to work in exchange for tuition fees, the program aims to alleviate the financial burden on students and promote equal opportunities for all.
The ‘work for fees’ program serves as a viable solution for students who may otherwise struggle to afford tertiary education, particularly at institutions like Midlands State University.
With its continued implementation, the initiative has the potential to transform the lives of many underprivileged students by providing them with access to higher education and the opportunity to achieve their academic and career goals.
