While government is planning how to manage no increase in university fees
and how to get money to universities and unhappy hungry students, this would be
a good time to rethink the required subjects for a matric and a Bachelor pass,
a requirement for studying at university.
CAT and Tourism are not in the designated list for a Bachelor matric
pass. Getting to university and the hoped for way out of poverty with a degree
and coping with poor teaching in under resourced schools, learners stay with subjects
on the designated list. They cannot afford to gamble with their subjects. We
know they only have to do 4 from the list but just in case they do all their
subjects from the designated list. So they do not do subjects which they could
use to help them succeed at university or starting their own
businesses.
Dear authorities please rethink the position of CAT and
Tourism! Thank you.
