EFF calls on Higher Education to provide digital learning devices for all students
12 May 2020
The EFF calls on the Department of Higher Education to provide digital learning devices for all students who cannot afford. It is clear that all previously white university institutions have managed to proceed with their curriculum despite the national lockdown. This is because the majority of these institutions drew from their apartheid attained riches and privilege to forge a pathway for virtual learning under the general conditions imposed by COVID-19.
All historically black institutions, on the other hand, have been left behind and on their own.
Students and teachers in these institutions have no apartheid wealth or legacy to draw from.
In fact, they already existed in permanent states of poverty, under-resourced and generally overcrowded.
