The Department of Higher Education and Training Deputy Minister Mduduzi Manana has encouraged Grade 12 learners to start applying now for post school institutions.

The department has started the Apply Now/Khetha Career Guidance to motivated learners to apply before it is too late.

The campaign also informs learners about things to look out for when choosing their institutions of higher learning to avert being conned by unregistered and bogus colleges, who offer them unaccredited qualifications.

The departments Busiswa Nongogo said the campaign is aimed at encouraging learners to apply on time following the unfortunate incident that happened at the University of Johannesburg in 2012, where a mother died in a stampede whilst accompanying her child to submit a late application.

Nongogo said the Apply Now Campaign runs from March to September, across the country to assist learners to make informed choices.

“it also seeks to inform learners about things to look out for when choosing their institutions of higher learning to avert being conned by unregistered and bogus colleges who offer them unaccredited qualifications.” Nongogo added
