SAHRC adds its voice to Unisa issue of excluding 20 000 first-year students
Share
Pretoria – Higher Education, Science and Innovation Minister Blade Nzimande’s exclusion of more than 20 000 potential first-year students from studying at Unisa is a direct contradiction to the transformation objectives in the higher education sector.
It entrenches the existing inequalities which still exist in institutions of higher learning.
This is according to the South African Human Rights Commission, which wants to add its voice to the EFF student wing’s application in which it is taking on the minister over the exclusion of more than 20 000 potential first-year students from studying at Unisa.
