Archbishop Thomas Luke Msusa from the Blantyre Archdiocese has raised concerns about students leaving private universities early. He says many people think these students have money, but that myth leads to high dropout rates. The truth paints a different picture for those who cannot pay their tuition fees.
Many students attend private universities only because public schools rejected them. Yet these students receive almost no financial help. The Archbishop, who leads the Catholic University Council, shared these thoughts at a fundraising kickoff event today. Catholic University wants to help students who face money problems.
Emanuel Siunda, who heads the Catholic University Students' Union, backed up these claims. He pointed out that money troubles force many bright minds to abandon their education before finishing. He praised the new fundraising effort as a way to keep students in school when cash runs short. The university hopes to collect K1 billion to create scholarships.
This money will directly support students who might otherwise quit school due to empty wallets. Archbishop Msusa emphasized that everyone deserves an education as a basic right. He asked former students, organizations, and kind-hearted people to chip in cash. He believes that educated citizens build stronger nations through their contributions to society.
The Catholic University plans to find long-term answers for helping poor students access quality education. Their fundraising drive continues for several months with many activities planned. Everyone involved feels hopeful that this effort will make real change happen. They want to see students complete their degrees regardless of their bank account balances.
