Over the years, the surge in gender-based violence incidents at higher learning institutions in South Africa has continued to worsen. As a result, government have initiated various Anti-gender-based violence interventions.

South Africa's unemployment rate is alarmingly high, particularly among the youth. This is why government launches a number of initiatives to promote employment. 

Student debt has been a continuing problem for South Africa’s economy and higher education sector. As a result, there have been calls for national intervention to put an end to the issue.

At least three public universities have had student protests since the start of the academic year. This has raised questions about what this could mean for the future of the Higher Education sector.

While Eskom announced that the severity of loadshedding will be reduced during the week, rolling power cuts will remain for the foreseeable future. South Africans can experience more than 10 hours without electricity in 24 hours.

South Africa is a great place to pursue project management studies. With its unique economic and social landscape, the country provides a range of opportunities for those looking to gain expertise in project management. 

A growing number of young people haver their sights set on pursuing their tertiary studies. However the unaffordability of tertiary education still makes it a prospect that is out of reach for much of the country's youth. 

As inflation and cost of living in South Africa reaches new highs, so has tuition and accommodation fees for higher education. A student union has called on government to intervene.

The issue of student debt has once again raised great concern, following an announcement made by higher education Minister Blade Nzimande. A student union has called on the private sector to intervene.

Students enrolled in academic programmes at South Africa’s 26 public universities are gearing up for the new academic year. However, when many of them register, they will find out that the cost of tuition and accommodation at their universities is set to increase.

Annually, tuition fees increase and this poses a challenge to students who fall in the missing middle students, who are without funding. Fortunately, the Higher Education sector has come up with means to help alleviate the burden and stress that comes with not having funding options.

A number of universities have commenced with their registrations for the 2023 academic year. Fortunately, some of them will be allowing late applications for their students. This strategy will benefit prospective students who will be entering universities for the first time.
