Higher education minister Blade Nzimande used his 2022/23 budget to affirm the government’s commitment to provide financial help to poor and missing-middle students.

Now, the overall total enrolments within the public university sector have been projected to be 1,110,361 for the 2022 academic year, he said. Meanwhile, the number of students enrolled in TVET colleges went up from 452,277 in 2020/21 to 580,849 in 2022/23, according to Nzimande.

The minister said of the total budget, R45.9bn included funding reprioritised from the departmental budget to ensure that the full shortfall for the NSFAS is addressed in 2022/23 to support students during the 2022 academic year. “Clearly R2.9bn is inadequate for student accommodation, therefore we will seek private-sector partnerships, including those already indicating they are investing on their own,” said Nzimande.
