SAIRR Backs Free Education Call
The South African Institute of Race Relations (SAIRR) says the demand for free education by students at higher education institutions is justifiable considering the high number of students who dropped out because they could not afford higher education.
SAIRR deputy CEO, Frans Cronje, says the students’ protests raised questions about how the government prioritised its programmes.
Cronje points out that, “The country has a high number of students (30 -40 percent) who drop out every year, partly because they cannot afford fees, and the government is spending billions of rands on less prioritised things.”
