Fee hike policy increases educational inequality and violates right to education. | The fee hike policy directly undermines the right to education (UDHR Article 26) and exacerbates inequalities (SDG 10), disproportionately affecting students from lower-income countries. While public backlash may lead to future reconsideration, the immediate policy action is ethically negative due to its discriminatory and exclusionary impact on access to higher education.
