The Black Business Council (BBC) has called for a considered solution to student protests over university fees that is sweeping across the country and which threaten to unnerve investors and hurt business confidence.
We need a solution which must protect the capacity of our universities to not only widen access, but to remain internationally competitive, dominant even.
— Mohale Ralebitso
The BBC proposes the following solutions:
-
More technical colleges for skills the economy can use and universities to produce graduates fit for what business requires.
-
More funding and tighter working relationship with business including - but not limited to - work rotation and experiential training while students are still at university.
-
Repayments which do not burden poor graduates.
- Discussion over some form of a national service as implemented in other counties.
