A recent storm across the Western Cape has prohibited schools from operating as normal. The province's MEC has delivered a plan highlighting the next steps, going forward. 

UCT Online High School is currently working with notable corporate and philanthropic partners to join them in empowering the future of South Africa. The aim is to make education more accessible to a diverse range of learners who may not afford the full tuition. 

There are a number of issues that plague the South African school system, most notably the problems surrounding poor infrastructure and increasing instances of violence in schools. Safety in schools is a priority, and members of the Equal Education (EE) organization are on a mission, "seeking sanctuary in Western Cape schools."

Youth unemployment remains one of South Africa's most pressing issues that has shown very little signs of improvement, despite efforts from government and other organizations. 

Language serves as a foundation for education across all age groups of society. As a country composed of a multilingual society, the need for indigenous language-speaking learners to be accommodated in South African schools and tertiary education is still a concern for the Education Sector.

Securing student accommodation is one of the many headaches South African university and college students have to deal with on a yearly basis, despite financial assistance from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. However, one company has now stepped in to alleviate some of the stress for the next academic year.

With September almost coming to an end, it's time for the latest SRD grant payment dates to be issued. Knowing when and where SASSA grants are being paid is very important for beneficiaries.

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) opens its application window each for students looking for higher education funding. Messages have been circulating social media, stating that 2024 applications are open. However, are those posts correct?

As a way to curve some of the struggles associated with South Africa's worrying levels of poverty and unemployment, low-income individuals receive social grants each month as a form of government financial assistance. However, these grant values are simply not enough during this high cost of living period. 

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme is under fire once again, this time facing intense criticism from the Parliamentary Committee for Higher Education. NSFAS has been the centre of student frustration for majority of the 2023 academic year, and things only seem to be getting worse.
