GATE report laid in Parliament

In outlining the details of the report and the Task Force’s recommendations, Garcia said, “Means testing will not be mandatory for all students. Students who do not wish to apply for means testing will be required to pay 50 percent of their tuition expenses.” He stated that sanctions such as withdrawal and reimbursement of GATE funding and debarment from access to the GATE programme, “will be introduced as a deterrent for students who are found to have submitted false information.”
