The Science Education Centre at the University of Limpopo will be moving its science programmes online. The programmes promote science awareness and aim to not only educate learners in school but members of the public as well.

For many decades Unisa was a home to students studying their degrees and diplomas part-time while they worked during the day. They received their study material by post and sent their assignments back the same way. Things have changed and among the 407 000 students at the university now there is a growing group of younger matriculants who couldn't access a full-time university so are studying full-time at Unisa instead. But what are the implications of this for the future of the world's oldest distance education university?

Minister Nzimande presented the adjusted budget for the Department of Higher Education which saw budget cuts amounting to almost R10 billion. However, not all politicians were happy with it. He also spoke on launching a review of Unisa, TVET qualifications as well as the sector itself.
