Higher Education and Training Minister Buti Manamela says students will experience a 2026 academic year that is prepared for their needs.
Earlier this week, Manamela briefed journalists in Parliament on the departments readiness for the next academic year. He has set up a war room, where issues usually encountered during the registration period will be managed.
The Minister says he wants to rebuild trust between students and the department by addressing annual concerns such as funding issues, registration backlogs, accommodation shortages and weak communication that often lead to dissatisfaction and protest action.
