💨 Abstract

Higher Education and Training Minister Buti Manamela has advised matriculants to consider various post-school options due to limited university spaces. He highlighted the importance of SETAs, TVET, and CET colleges as viable pathways to employment and further education. The minister also addressed issues with student funding, announcing measures to support students with blocked or second-semester registrations. Despite improvements in higher education access, dropout rates remain high, prompting discussions to make student success rates more transparent.
