"You will recall that the university authorities and the others have been clamouring for the exemption of the universities and other tertiary institutions from this system.
"Today, Council has graciously approved that. What that means is that going forward, the universities, like the Minister of Education has said, and other tertiary institutions, the polytechnics and colleges of education, will be taken off the IPPIS.
