blade nzimande speech today on nsfas 2024-2025
In his 2022 post-education training sector talk, the minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr. Blade Nzimande, recently addressed the media. He talked about the NSFAS bursary in terms of how NSFAS has given laptops to needy NSFAS recipients, how many people applied, and how NSFAS plans to fund all applicants who qualify.
Blade Nzimande, Minister of Higher Education in Cape Town, has defended the troubled National Student Financial Aid Scheme (Nsfas), claiming that it has been a success story ever since it was established.
- “Nsfas has not failed. Nsfas is a success story of this ANC government since it was established,” Nzimande said.
- “We actually will be celebrating 30 years of Nsfas this year, and Nsfas is functioning optimally,” Nzimande said during the oral question in the National Council of Provinces on Tuesday.
He was responding to Mbulelo Bara, a DA MP, who asked if it wasn’t time to admit that the program had failed administratively and that a new model for disbursing student funds should be looked into.
Bara mentioned that President Cyril Ramaphosa approved a proclamation authorizing the Special Investigating Unit to look into a variety of erroneous expenditures, as well as wasteful and fruitless expenditures.
