University strike leaves students counting the cost of stalled learning

Tonight, we turn the spotlight on the paralysis gripping the country’s public universities and the students bearing the brunt of the ongoing lecturers’ strike. With lectures suspended for nearly two weeks, students are urging university lecturers and the Ministry of Education to fast-track talks and end the stalemate. Beyond lost classroom time and academic delays, students say they are continuing to incur rent, food and other living expenses while getting little or no value from the education they came to pursue.
