RE: The illusion of FREE EDUCATION FOR ALL - An endless debate

in #debate8 years ago

My first question is, why do they want to attend a University? The #FeesMustFall is only a symptom of a larger problem. We can now debate if University must be free or not (I cannot see how it can be for free), but we will not solve the problem. University sold themselves as the only doorway to a career. With the high unemployment in SA, everybody wants to get a degree to get a job. In SA we need to establish other avenues through which jobs can be obtained for example the apprenticeship practice which was stopped. Universities do not train artisans. We are facing a tomorrow where no one can fix the basics anymore, and those who were wise enough to become and artisan will become stinking rich.
