Education will open the doors of opportunity: Ramaphosa
Ramphosa acknowledged SA's unemployment but re-iterated that education should be prioritised.
ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa urged young South Africans to prioritize their education, emphasizing its role in creating opportunities amid the country's unemployment crisis. Speaking to journalists in Tembisa, a suburb beset by challenges like water shortages, joblessness, and soaring electricity costs, Ramaphosa stressed that education should be a national focus.
He encouraged young people to take advantage of available educational opportunities, including funding from NSFAS for tertiary studies, fee-free schools, and the option to return to school even under adverse personal circumstances. Ramaphosa highlighted that there is no reason for a South African youth to relinquish their education due to illness, pregnancy, or personal setbacks.
