We won. The government finally committed to the funding and internships we demanded.

Final supporters
1) Every qualifying matric be given the opportunity to further their education. Nobody should be left behind because they can't afford to study. We call on government to increase the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) to R 16 billion per year.
2) Every school delivers quality basic education. Government must ensure that Annual National Assessments in Grade 3, 6 and 9 are internationally benchmarked and independently marked to enhance the quality of our education system.
3) More jobs are created for young people. If government works with the business community we can facilitate one million internships every year.
Together, we can secure a better deal for young people in South Africa.
Add your voice to millions of others.

This fits in with the National skills audit. This however still needs to be done
my brother finished matric with good marks but he is sitting at home cause there is no money for college. this needs to change now.
AMEN. Finally someone is talking about the real issues affecting the youth in this country.
The internship idea is long overdue. so many graduates are just sitting with degrees they cant use because they lack experience. please do this.
this system tells me my email address is invalid - am sure others must experience the problem and cant sign. [email protected] that is my email and it wont accept it.
