A single regulator to oversee higher education; fees for public and private institutions; no more MPhil courses before Ph.D.; multiple entries and exit points in degree courses; fixed students can select between three and four-year undergraduate programmes are all part of this policy.

"While the rate of school dropouts is falling, it is still over 17.5 percent at the secondary level, according to statistics. It is also high at the post-secondary level. Due to financial and medical challenges in their families, students are obliged to take a break from their education. Such students will now be able to get a certificate of completion for the number of years they have studied, as well as the option of returning to their studies and picking up where they left off."
