Stellenbosch University's council will today make a final decision on the proposed new language policy. 

It would consider the draft policy, published on the university's website, as well as amendments proposed by council and the institutional forum. 

In November 2015, the university announced that all learning at the institution would be in English, as it was the common language in the country. 

It added that "substantial academic support" would be provided in other South African languages, according to students' needs.
