From zero percent to free education.

How are the university councils addressing the issue now, that has shift it's balance from from zero percent increase to free education? R37 billion are needed to balance the books, but the state provide only R22 billion. There is the first logic deficit in my personal opinion as well as other academics.

At the moment the only stakeholders are government and the state. This leave us with a dilemma of a deficit, that has been created out of the current dilemma. Apart from prices that have been increased, so has numerous other key factors such as electricity, water, housing, food and inflation. Salaries has increase with seven (7%) in the state sector that employ the most people. Free education on top of the demands from 0% increase, has create an added deficit of R15 billion for 2016. 

Private sector does not contribute to universities world wide, they only benefit from the qualified students overall.

Which stake holders are going to contribute towards the demands, is still an open question and challenge. What is going to happen with academic programs that are now in jeopardy, days before the final end of the academic year, is not only a question but it can lead to a total set-back in my personal opinion.

In the meantime as we are in discussion, the very same students are violating the rights of others. This is not disrespectful but very childish and underdeveloped.

Will government be able to cut costs, knowing sustainability is not that easy, with the little resources at hand. Government will have to come with a plan of action to give more resources and this make me question who is behind this unrest and protest.

There must be a driving force far more dubious, that are the back-bone of this whole scenario and therefore we see strong remarks such as treason, that has been used in the past days.

In the meantime, thousands of people are under the impression that free education exist in Germany, France, Holland and other European countries. I have news for you that refrain from doing research on such topics. Here is a list of Degree programs that are certainly not free at all. 

In fact, South Africa have the lowest cost for university fees globally.

I will not spoon-feed you as in the past, because it create more laziness, apart from the fact that currencies may change daily and I hate to give false information to anyone.
