    "content": "There is no clear infrastructure that has been set up to help students. The centres are very far for some students. There is need for staff of the Ministry of Education to support students on how to go about applying for funding. Students have problems with internet connectivity, computers and phones. I hope that, just as the manual indicates, the system is designed to be available and work. The way we are handling the situation right now is the problem. To manage the problem, my first suggestion would be that we extend the period of admission to universities. We should then set up centres, at least at the constituency level or closer, with computers and provide internet for students to apply for funding. Additionally, the centres should have staff to assist the students. We can borrow the idea from the election system we use in this country. I believe that will work. If that is not done, many students will not manage to apply because the time is too short and there is no infrastructure. Once all that is done, we will have the opportunity to see whether the design, as it is, works. There is the issue of whether students will be given money every year. In my opinion, that is not important now. Let us start with this year first. We need to support the students to apply and get the slots in universities. We can then follow up on the other issues."
