Is education on the brink of a significant shift? Stay tuned for Monday 10 June 2024 as I showcase strides in infrastructure development and pioneering NSFAS funding solutions, propelling higher education and training into a new era of progress. #dhet #ProfBladeNzimande

Since 1991, NSFAS has given hope to millions of students from poor and working class backgrounds, by enabling them to transition from poverty to a better life. However, our work is far from complete. Today, I am proud to give an account of the Comprehensive Student Funding

Government’s efforts have contributed significantly to shaping post-schooling education by among others, boosting university enrollments of Black African students from less than half in 1994 to over 75% currently, marking a huge achievement in the advancement of higher education.

City Press’s baseless allegations lack evidence and reflect a smear campaign. I stay committed to advancing South Africa’s science, technology, and innovation agenda to address pressing issues such as poverty, unemployment, and inequality.
