Higher education minister Naledi Pandor says 70% of undergraduates obtained their degree after seven years of studying.Higher education and training minister Naledi Pandor has asked whether students are ready for university studies immediately after matric. This follows the release of a report which showed that 70% of undergraduates obtained their degree after seven years of studying. This finding is contained on the Post School Education and Training Monitor, which provides an overview of macro trends in the higher education system."Focusing on the cohort that enrolled at contact universities for the first time in 2007, by the seventh year after the initial enrolment 70% of entrants had graduated.
“With respect to distance students, only 19% of the 2007 cohort had graduated by the seventh year following first enrolment,” the report said.
Lazy students
Why do u guys have a pic of min naledi pandor laughin whilst telling us about such a pain?
The basic education system is terrible, and the standards have been dropped to feed some empty statistics addiction at the end of every year. Of course students entering a university space where the standard has either stayed the same or become harder will struggle.
Ngwanyane They should look at basic education. They are lowering standards of education there and expect to yield better results in universities?
As expected what miracles would they perform with their 30% pass at matric level
Mina I just enjoy tertiary life it was fun and I was lazzy. I don’t regret it, working is not nice.
We must never justify mediocrity in anyway. You get what you plant that's my thought. We must never downplay the equation of hardwork here.
Wa nyewa dah
The lecturers and inadequate study material was a huge inconvenience for me at TUT. Every lecturer comes with his syllabus for that subject/module. Lectures need not to be compulsory if study material & syllabus are well defined
Administrative difficulties at the faculty of engineering at UJ
Finance is big factor...
Also some of this kids Get to varsity and just play cause no really on their case about their work like they do in high school..the kids go wild ko varsity..ba hlolwa ke freedom nyana.
Gap between what's taught in most of public schools and varsity.also lack of resources.. Remember my first year,most black folks had not used microscope before white kids were just killing it from the word Go..solid foundation is Key
Probably took the wrong course they wanted to be doctors after that 7 years
Not the ones having to pay their own way!
It's because of the lack of funds. Students from upper class families get there quicker but lack emotional intelligence.
Coz primary and secondary education is sub-standard
Good Question
It took me 5yrs, I agree
Haibo wenja!! ngokuba uDr nje izolo 😂😂😂
Lol this has nothing to do with age.
Most cases money is the issue
Not surprising they want free education. It's a f**king holiday, funded by our taxes. Make them pay their first year, if they pass they get their money back to use for second year and so on. If they fail, they get nothing. That will stop this crap.
NSFAS takes long to pay book allowances and what do you expect students to cope without study material?

Congratulatory messages pour in as Naledi Pandor gets her PhDNalediPandor has been praised for living up to her portfolio as the minister of higher education and training. I would congratulate anyone in The Opposition benches not MYANC people. Their may attain to all personal achievement they want, but their education doesn't translate into better governance of the country. This country is going down under their watch.
