Higher Education and Training Minister Buti Manamela announces the establishment of a war room for 2026.
Higher Education Minister Buti Manamela has announced the establishment of a war room for the Post-School Education and Training sector for the 2026 academic year.
Manamela says the war room will bring together the leadership of the department, NSFAS, universities and colleges, as well as the leadership from student formations, who will meet on a weekly basis to discuss solutions to challenges as they occur.
Manamela was briefing the media at the Ronnie Mamoepa Media Centre in Pretoria.
“Through the war room, we will tackle outstanding issues head-on. From the timely payment of NSFAS allowances to the accreditation of student accommodation, the finalisation of examination certificates and the resolution of disputes that can otherwise disrupt teaching and learning. It will also function as an early warning system so that potential triggers of protests or disruption are identified and addressed before they scale up.”
