Demand for Full Reversal of Unjust $441 WRL Charge – 2025 Final Year Weekend Classes
Petition Description:
We, the final year students of the Great Zimbabwe University (GZU) Weekend class and Block 2025, are calling for the immediate and complete reversal of the recently imposed $441 Work Related Learning (WRL) fee, charged to all 4.2 weekend and block class finalists. This fee is not only excessive and disproportionate—it was introduced without prior consultation, transparent communication, or any meaningful breakdown of its components.
Students have noted that the exchange rate of 34 ZIG against the greenback USD is far above the interbank rate, amplifying the financial strain at a time when economic challenges are already eroding our capacity to fund higher education. We believe this decision lacks accountability, equity, and sensitivity to the realities we face.

No communication was done prior to the inception of the $441.00. What is it really for after schooling ended and results published, and why was the exchange rate raised? They cannot honestly tell us its all because they assessed each one of us for less than 10 to 15 minutes.
What is $441 additional fee for? And why where we only told about it after the semester has already ended
$441 is too much for assessment
Reverse the imposed $441 WRL fee
Remove the $441 fees from student portal
this is not fair at all
We demand the cancelation of $441 to us block students who finished June 2025

The fees were not communicated before hence we have no budget for this.Our pockets can not sustain such an increase. The tuition fees were already paying were to heavy for us
