It's a good thing for those who stay
People saying university isnt for everyone cant be serious, its the affordability of things and the expectations of the experience of it and what actually happens that throw people off, i wont even mention some of the type of people at public university faculties.
The registration process is so out of date its unbelievable, getting treated like a criminal at registration only to get substandard lectures would make anyone dropout.
Theres needs to be a 1:1 relationship between the content and work place requirements of the qualification.
We had a useless university qualifications crisis before it was a dropout issue though.

Casper is making lots of money without university 😂😂😂😂
There needs to be a radiate readiness year that accompanies the actionable benchmarking test. Like, have that year first, and then NBT, so that a prospective student can be oriented into the demands of university life. Also, focus should be on building healthy physical, mental and emotional habits for resilience.
Really the university system, especially the humanities is way outdated for today's job market. Insisting on going the same route is a grave injustice and universities seem to care more about making a profit than their student's future prospects.
U cnt survive in varsity with the education standard of pass one pass all……..but anyway the ANC gvt doesn't care……n aso the majority of ppl dnt care bwt d standard they jst want to pass
It's alarming that they don't point out that is particularly male dropouts that's the issue. So bad is the male enrolment that's sitting at 38%.
Well u can thank Forex / youtube and andrew tate for that.
The final exams in Grade12 are way too easy compared to what we face at Varsity.
Varsities only favours IEB students
I hope the government intervention won’t be to force universities to lower their teaching standards. That tactic has produced the most incompetent professionals we’ve ever seen. The focus must be on roots levels which is elementary school until high school and most importantly developing our economy. There are lot of factors affecting students performance other than just studying.
We have unemployment crisis
How can families afford transport, accommodation, and tuition fees in this economic recession? it's only going to get worse.
I can assure you with certainty that many of these university dropouts are guys.
School fees are high and they come to the reality that they won't have jobs or will earn the same amount as a pick n pay employee. Which is bad considering they have a degree
Studying microbes… where will I get a job with this
The problem is forex trading
Unless you're doing anything in STEM or Law, then a degree is such a waste of your parent's money.
If the South African government has taught me anything, it's that those with the least amount of qualifications and least competent to do the work will get the highest paying jobs.
No man south Africa come on
Nsfas debacles aren't making it easier 😢
University is not for everyone
No one is supporting the black child unless they have a vested interest
Because admissions are not based purely on merit. If you want to reduce the dropout rate, we need stricter admission requirements that are devoid of racial criteria.
These things are all the faults of the Basis Education Dep!!! But they want to be incharge!!! You are damageing the future of your people by letting them pass with a ,,30% passmark!!!! When are you going to learn.!!!
POOR MATRIC QUALITY PERIOD!!!!!!????
Then these Universities blacklist these children later. Sentencing them to a bleak miserable future. Hauling children before courts demanding payment.
Useless hunter gatherers ? Will never ever catch up
These are all lies. DHET knows the reason for this high dropout rate. It involves NSFAS and corruption, leaving students halfway through their studies stranded with no funding to progress.
I hear that gangsterism is more profitable than obtaining a university degree over there. Nigeria is not facing huge dropout like this. What is going on SA?
How are we going to determine the accurate numbers when each university employs a different model to record dropout rates?
The South African education system must be upgraded to the current world standard, Technologically.
They are waking up.
Yes Uh uh uh uhm
This is sad😢😢😢
Well 30% pass rate, quotas and diversity nonsense that is not based on merit but free social grant funding for university – makes it expected by all that they will as matter of fact go to varsity merit completely aside! "students" are then pushed through to universities where equality of outcome is expected but you can't magically make people knowledgeable and proficient enough to pass based on BS anymore – equality of opportunity based on merit doesn't exist so its a failure all around– same with government- we've all seen over and over and over the results of that are catastrophic- the entitlement syndrome can only work so far – the crises stats preschool that's where the foundation phases are all but non existant or not properly implemented – its starts there – then 15 years later the results are shown exactly here!
You can not expect to do well at varcity, with a matric pass rate of 30%…….
It’s true the drop out rate for first years has always been very high for decades
…it's a known fact by now that AI & Robotics will take over jobs as from next year.
