IPTS: Not feasible for us to lower fees


PETALING JAYA: Despite calls by students to lower the fees, private higher education institutions (IPTS) say it is not feasible for them to do so, noting that there has been no substantial drop in operating costs.

Various IPTS associations, in a joint statement, said that any fee reduction is not justified as the institutes continue to pay for various elements, including salaries, insurance premiums, software licences, rental, mortgages and accreditation fees.
