No Room for Fee Hikes Midway: Private Universities Cannot Raise Fees for Current Students
TDT | Manama Email : editor@ Private universities cannot raise fees for already enrolled students, according to Resolution No. 207 of 2023. Fee increases will only apply to new intakes, and universities found violating this rule will face investigations and potential penalties. The government clarified that the regulation, which aims to keep education costs fair for students, follows a parliamentary proposal advocating for stable tuition fees. This confirmation ensures that universities maintain their academic, financial, and administrative standards without burdening current students. Resolution No. 206 of 2023 states that fees must remain unchanged for current students, with any increases applying only to new intakes. The regulation is designed to help universities cover operational expenses while maintaining high teaching and research standards. The government has emphasized its role in overseeing private universities to ensure compliance with these regulations. It also highlighted that universities partner with international institutions to secure accreditation, advance research, and gain global recognition—efforts that help attract students from abroad and enhance the country's higher education sector. As of the 2021/2022 academic year, Bahrain has 10 private universities offering a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs across various disciplines.
