Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Development Planning Hon. Selibe Mochoboroane announced on Monday that 200 postgraduate students have been granted sponsorship by the National Manpower<\/p>\n

Development Secretariat (NMDS). Mochoboroane had assembled the National University of Lesotho (NUL) postgraduate students to address issues relating to their allowances and sponsorship approval.<\/p>\n

When addressing the students, Mochoboroane said the total number of people who applied are 290 while those who have been granted the sponsorship are 200 and they are<\/p>\n

requested to go to NMDS to sign their contracts on Wednesday. This is the first group that will benefit from the revised policy which nullified the old policy<\/p>\n

that demanded payment of 50% of the outstanding bursary payment. Mochoboroane had earlier last year called that policy off, citing that the opportunity is<\/p>\n

for vulnerable students. One of the postgraduates Lineo Pene appreciated the support from government and requested the Minister to increase the intake next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also request for creation of jobs after we graduate so that we can be able to give<\/p>\n

our siblings opportunity to come study too,\u201d she said. A relieved postgraduate student, Mofumotse Chere Ramainoane said he feels encouraged and motivated<\/p>\n

after the release of the lists. \u201cIt has been three weeks since we have been going to classes not knowing if one would get the sponsorship and that really<\/p>\n

affects one\u2019s energy of studying but right now I feel powerful and relaxed, however it is very unfortunate that some of us did not get the scholarships and<\/p>\n

they have no choice as their journey will have to end this far, hence I humbly request the ministry to increase the number of graduates for postgraduate studying,\u201d Ramainoane.<\/p>\n
