The DA will be submitting parliamentary questions to ascertain how the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande, plans to spend this money and whether or not he will be prioritising the R51 billion NSFAS shortfall.
The R14.8bn increase will be
grossly insufficient for this and other urgent needs in the higher education
and training arena.
Minister of Higher Education
Belinda Bozolli said The Higher Education and Training sector remains
unsustainable and the vision for this sector outlined in both the White Paper
and NDP remains unimplementable.
Bozolli said I will therefore
be submitting parliamentary questions requesting the Minister of Higher
Education and Training, Blade Nzimande, to ascertain how the funding gap for
NSFAS will be addressed, and what he is planning to do to find funding to pay
for Universities to have the capacity to teach additional students.
Bozolli said are we going to
adjust our targets, will more money be made available or will we find an
alternative funding strategy.
“These are urgent questions
that must be answered by Minister Nzimande Bozolli added.
