Funding Strategy Group

The study to determine the appropriate level of funding of South Africa’s higher education sector: This study will take into account what the sector is expected to achieve in terms of the production of graduates and diplomates, research and innovation outputs and other roles that universities play in South Africa. It will be a first principles study and will aim to allow USAf to gain some traction on understanding the actual costs of study and student support so as to be able to determine the suitable funding level to allow the universities to play the role expected of them. The DHET has indicated strong interest to partner USAf on this project.
