Student debt for lower middle-class is the issue, says Nzimande

While students continue with protests countrywide over “financial exclusion”, Minister of Higher Education and Training Blade Nzimande provided clarity to Parliament that students who fall in the lower middle-income group were those protesting to be registered.

“Those who do not qualify for NSFAS, but at the same time they are not rich or wealthy enough to be able to pay for themselves…..that’s the issue. The government is following its policy….people should not make a mistake that’s not the case,” he said.The minister said the shortfall was due to budget cuts and the Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in an extended academic year, retrenchments and business closures.

His approach towards student's cry is very unpopular He's going to do the magic: finding money that doesn't exist and will therefore be stolen from some other vital department , organisation or cause.

Nzimande calls for end to student protestsHigher Education Minister Blade Nzimande has called for an end to the shutdown of universities by students saying the year was already lost. It would be interesting to see the employability of students coming from these years... I agree, when people get down and rebuild this country, we may be in a position to provide 'free education', but the longer people run around burning and destroying - it's obvious nothing can rise from that. But why did ANC of 1994 promise poor voters free education
