EFF strongly rejects the placement of NSFAS under administration

# The EFF says it rejects the decision by minister of Higher Education and Training, Buti Manamela, to place the National Student Financial Aid Scheme under administration. The decision comes after a series of resignations, including those of former chairperson, doctor Karen Stander, and interim chairperson, doctor Mugwena Maluleke. The EFF says this latest development is a continuation of the chronic dysfunction that has characterised the scheme for years under ANC governance. It adds that the scheme has previously been placed under administration, yet the conditions facing students have not improved.
