Higher education and training minister Blade Nzimande says the sector has faced unprecedented challenges in the past two years, including adapting to Covid-19 restrictions and new ways of teaching, learning and providing student funding.
The advent of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 saw institutions of higher learning migrate to online teaching and learning to adhere to non-pharmaceutical safety measures that include social distancing.
He said more students were able to access learning resources such as Wi-Fi from institutions in 2021. He predicted 2022 will be less disruptive than the previous two years.
