HIGHER Education Minister Blade Nzimande, has come to the defence of National Student Financial Aid Scheme administrator Randall Carolissen, who has recently come under fire for handling the affairs of the bursary scheme.
He has also come under criticism for the delays in procuring laptops, to enable participation in online studies during the Covid-19. The minister said free higher education had done well under Carolissen, since it was announced in December 2017 to start in January 2018. "On my side, I want to put it on record that I think he has done a sea change in terms of what NSFAS was and some of the challenges of the organisation," he said.
