JOHANNESBURG - The Minister of Higher Education and Training has unveiled a bold plan to reform the post-school education and training system.
At the heart of the plan is a promise to stabilise NSFAS, introduce a new funding model, and drive transparency and accountability.
Minister Buti Manamela admits that post-school education and training system remains fragmented and uneven.

According to the Minister too many young people are locked out of opportunity, too many skills taught are not the skills the economy needs and too many institutions are under performing.
Additionally he says the funding models remain unstable with data being incomplete and the system is not coherent enough to guarantee the return on investment that South Africans expect.
says the goal is to have a unified, high-performing system that expands access and delivers real opportunities for all - especially the youth.
