The beginning of the academic year has once again seen large queues at universities of students applying late for admission to study.

The Democratic Alliance says it is clear that the central application system proposed by the Minister of higher Education and Training is not addressing the issue.

DA’s Annelie Lotriet said the campaign by the Department of Higher Education and Training to promote early application is not sufficient to provide proper guidance and counselling.

Lotriet adds that in order to resolve the problem, the lack of proper career guidance in our school system needs to be addressed.
