Dear Portfolio Committee on Higher Education, Science and Technology,

Im a 1st year student central university of technology in Bloemfontein Free State doing DP in public management, I've following this issue of the DHET and NSFAS it has put a great strain and disruption to students especially ones that come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

I'm praying and hoping it to be resolved I was a tvet student before now my registration data has not been send to nsfas for allocation of funds by the university saying they're waiting to hear whether we will be funded, even though nsfas has approved my funding for this academic year, the pressure the confusion at campus is too much.

Hoping all will be resolved as already 1st term has ended some not getting laptops or allowances.

Kind regard
TE
