Students at
the sit-in told Jo24 that the ministry “did not include all applicants who met
the criteria as , under the pretext that the financial
allocations were not available”.
Some students,
they said, have been denied grants and loans despite the fact that their
families are low-income.
Participants
in the sit-in raised banners emphasizing their right to education, with some
signs reading: "education is also for the poor". The students also
delivered a letter outlining their demands to the ministry.
