on the 4th of May for the second term with less than 50% of the
students failing to return to college due to failure to pay tuition
fees. The fees are ranging from USD345 to USD600 per term. Students
at the institution are being faced by accommodation challenges due
to the high accommodation fees and groceries being charged by the
administration.

Students at
Bindura University of Education (BUSE) formed an all inclusive Student
Representative Council. The forming of the coalition SRC was as
a result of the failure by the administration to hold these elections
last year in October due to an industrial action by lecturers.
The inclusive SRC will be in office till the end of the semester
in August this year, normal SRC elections will be held next semester,
in October 2009 and their term of office will run up to August 2010.
They were 3
coalitions contesting for the SRC and it was out of those 3 that
an inclusive SRC was formed, with each coalition bringing in 3 members
each and the 10th member was appointed by consensus of the group.
