According to the UPNG Council, the decision was reached in light of the decrease in the annual budget provided by the Government and the increase in the annual costs of essential utilities to maintain the continued operations of the University’s teaching and learning activities.
The council said the increase also reflects the Consumer Price Index adjustment, which will affect both new and continuing undergraduate students.
They further clarified that the tuition fee increase does not apply to international students who enrol at UPNG for their studies.
