I have observe something Education in the north is more cheaper than south, even the school fees.

And yet you will hardly see Northern universities endorsing this strike like their counterparts.



Take an example like UI they are hell bend on this strike to continue as if there lives depend on it.



And finally when it comes to job opportunities you will see northerners securing job faster than their cousins up south, despite the fact that their cousins spend higher fees.


what i am saying is why the hike of school fees in southern varsities?
