There’s no question the United States missed the opportunity to get ahead of the novel #coronavirus. But the window for making important decisions hasn’t closed. The choices we and our leaders make now will have an enormous impact. https://t.co/mAa2XWwBIB

A Great Read for contextualising #FeesMustFall
The Perspective Online journal came from a collective observation that student activism needs to also be driven by thoughtful and productive contributions to advance academic, pedagogical and knowledge renewal within the university.

[Savo Heleta @Savo_Heleta]

It's great to see this important work by students at @MandelaUni. Well done @PedroMzileni for making 'The Perspective Online' journal happen. The first issue is titled 'The Morphology of the #MustFall Movement.' Available for download here https://t.co/91rXegiu3q #SouthAfrica

May this symbolise the hands-on approach which empowers the future leaders. Also to hear from the 'ground' what is pertinent in advancing the education agenda #SONA2020 @DBE_SA @HigherEduGovZA

[Athi Mtongana @AthiMtongana]

Gauteng Education MEC, Panyaza Lesufi has left the comfort of the VIP tent to sit with school pupils in the scorching Cape Town sun.

Lesufi says this is solidarity with the pupils.

The protest at UWC follows a week of protests at a number of public universities after the SA Union of Students called for a national shut down of universities while their demands relating to student fees and debt were addressed

Discussion @dwnews:
Is Africa industry ready for a digitized economic 'revolution'?
What is supplied by basic education, is not what's demanded by the market...
What's supplied from higher edu & training institutions is far from employment realities.

Without a proper policy, @DBE_SA cannot properly decide who should qualify for scholar needs;, how it should plan and budget properly, who the relevant role players are and what their roles should be
