When was the new model implemented? To quote, "The New Funding Model (NFM) is designed to align funding more closely with the needs of individual students rather than institutions. This approach aims to better address the diverse economic backgrounds of our students and ensure that financial support is available to those who need it most."

Now the government is directly funding the most needy more and the least needy less, hence the drop. Before, the funding was per student that is why the graph goes up whenever you have more students before 2023/2024.

Wasn't this you earlier?

"You would think there would be more funding for Universities"

Then I bring you evidence showing that funding actually increased!

You clearly didn't understand what I was saying, so let me be clear. "You would think there would be more funding for Universities" means if the decrease in students caused the universities to go broke, then consequently an increase in students means the universities are better funded. Then why do we have broke universities with almost double the students since Matiangi made marking stricter?

You are assuming that the students will double but the capacity to absorb regular students in university remains constant.

In 2022 only 10% of qualified students could go to parallel programs which is where universities get money from.

Exactly. Now you are back to my argument. If the pass mark grade was B+ how many of that 90% would join the 10%?

Furthermore, to bring in my broke country argument, allocating money is not necessarily spending money. That is why school heads are always crying about delayed capitation. The entire allocation never hit their accounts. The result is that the Universities had to borrow the money, That is why they are bankrupt. As with most institutions, paying creditors comes before paying salaries.

So what you are saying is that in 2016 the regular students admitted to public universities should have been 14,000 while universities had capacity of holding 65,000?
