The price of higher education is steep, with tuition and residence fees climbing into tens of thousands of rands. A shocking 50% of students entering higher education institutions in SA are dropping out without receiving any qualifications, largely because of poverty and the lack of finances. This is costing tax-payers a staggering R4,5bn in lost grants and subsidies, without any commensurate return on investment. Should Higher Education be free for everyone?
