# Deputy minister of Higher Education and Training, Yusuf Cassim, is calling on the National Student Financial Aid Scheme to prioritise and resolve outstanding challenges affecting students at various institutions. These include outstanding Personal Care Allowances and Funza Lushaka payments affecting students at UNISA, and 81 Central University of Technology students receiving incorrect qualification coding, which affects their NSFAS funding and appeals. Cassim says that when students experience funding delays, administrative difficulties or uncertainty about their allowances, these challenges can have an impact on their ability to continue with their education.
