Protests about Fees at university.
ReplyDeleteQu: What is the exhibit about?
ReplyDeleteThis image represents an uprising at universities in South Africa in 2016 about the high fees that students are expected to pay - students want free higher education
The universirty students are fighting for free education
ReplyDeleteUniversity students are protesting about high tuition fees. They are fighting to have the fees to be drastically reduced. (Onismus)
ReplyDeleteI think they want NO FEES at all.
DeleteThe exhibit is about revisiting what the Freedom Charter is all about-Free education for all.
ReplyDeleteI feel pity for the poor students who might be forced to drop out of college because of financial constraints
ReplyDeleteThere is the NFSIS option that struggling students can apply for in the meantime.
DeleteQu: Do you think that #feesmustfall?
ReplyDeleteYes, I do agree with it but I recognise that it can't be immediate. It could be started by the government and worked at over time.
Fee must fall but it cannot be free. How are you going to pay for it the lecturers and the course develkopment???
DeleteDon't you think that it should fall for those who are poor only. Is it OK to subsidise the rich as well?
DeleteYes i agree Sylvia
Delete3.I feel that #fees must fall especially for the poor students. Those who can afford should soldier on. This approach may reduce the 'dependency syndrome'
ReplyDeleteIf you don't pay for it do ypu not make people more dsependant? Plus people seems to think that if something is free that it is not worth something.....
DeleteWhat was the picture about????Answer as a comment
ReplyDeleteI feel pity bcz some of their parents can't afford university fees
ReplyDeleteDon't you think those who can not afford university fees should rather go to TVET colleges?
DeleteI empathize with students who can not eat well at the expense of having good education.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with you. We must do all we can to make sure people get a good education.
DeleteStudents are protesting against the payment of fees in higher institutions (Lihle)
ReplyDeleteQu: Scan the QR code of the exhibit using your Quickmark app. Does the video portray the situation fairly?
ReplyDeleteI think the video shows the students'side very well...but I feel it should also show how difficult this would be to introduce in a country where so few people pay tax and where the government isn't creating enough job opportunities. This would give one the 'whole' current picture.
High fees at the universities
ReplyDeleteQu: What format was more effective, the video or the photo? I thin the video as it shows the action and how widespread the uprising was. Also, the video is short so people will be interested in watching it.
ReplyDeleteVideos is much better as we can see everything that's happening there
DeleteI feel bad about the future of our children
ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteAt whose expense should #feesmustfall? Maybe that should be a rephrase of the question. Yes #feesmustfall if there is commitment from all sectors of the economy to cut a slice from their budget to fund tertiary education especially for the indigent students and the less fortunate.
ReplyDeleteIts concerns me, the country leaders and its citizenry are neglecting the gist of Ubuntu practice, which used to consciously and unconciously influence our nations, to dominate the concept of the richer that get richer while the poor remains in the same situation.
ReplyDeleteyes education should be free
