Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande revealed this when responding in writing to a set of parliamentary questions yesterday.
He was responding to questions from DA MP Belinda Bozzoli, who had asked for the breakdown in the R5bn cut of funding in the National Student Financial Aid Scheme and what would not be funded by the bursary scheme. In June, Nzimande said the academic calendar for higher education institutions would not be completed this year.
University of KwaZulu-Natal acting executive director for corporate relations Normah Zondo said the move to online teaching and learning required setting up virtual platforms and retraining academics and students. “Connectivity, a conducive study environment, delivery of laptops and printed material have posed a challenge.”
“The academic programme, except for practical training, takes place online. Students are currently restricted to the residences but allowed access to clinics, laboratories and LANs with prior approval.”
