Despite repeated assurances from the government, students at the Caribbean Maritime University (CMU) in Jamaica have said that they are still unable to register for classes and receive their degrees a week on.
Last Monday, the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff Lionel “Max” Hurst explained that the government had agreed to pay tuition for the students at a specific rate, which was paid during the students’ first two years at the learning institution.
However, he said the school sought to change the agreement in the third year of the students’ study.
Hurst said the issue was further complicated after multiple high-ranking officials at the school were slapped with charges in connection with a multimillion-Jamaican-dollar fraud and corruption scandal.
