By Amos Ssemuwemba 

Parliament is set to convene for a plenary session this afternoon at 2:00 PM, with the top item on the agenda being the reconsideration of the Higher Education Students Financing (Amendment) Bill, 2024. The government is pushing to reintegrate the Higher Education Students Financing Board into the Ministry of Education, a move aimed at streamlining the administration of student financing. The bill’s reconsideration follows recent discussions on improving access to education funding for students across the country.
