Karachi University

In recent days, students of the University of Karachi (KU) have staged a series of protests across the campus, voicing their discontent over a sudden and significant hike in tuition fees. The protests have drawn large crowds of students, creating widespread attention in the city and beyond, as the issue of affordability in higher education takes center stage.

The administration at Karachi University recently announced a sharp increase in tuition and related fees for the upcoming academic session. The rise has varied across different departments and programs, with some seeing a hike of up to 30%. For many students, this translates into a significant financial burden, especially for those already struggling with the high costs of education and living in Karachi.
