Where are the parents?’ – Nzimande
23 September 2016
Johannesburg – Parents need to play a bigger role in debates over university fees, Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande said on Wednesday.
“Where are the parents in all of this? They are leaving big decisions in the hands of 19 and 20-year-old students,” he said during an interview on Pretoria-based Impact Radio.
He said government had started talking to parents about their children. They were the ones helping their children get through university.
“Students just want to demand and some of them are not even willing to listen and engage,” Nzimande said.
