Deputy Minister, can you take the House into your confidence because, as the ANC, we are a caring government. In order to accommodate students from rural areas and disadvantaged backgrounds that do not have access to ICT, how far is the rollout of the manual tracking programme that ought to supplement the e- tracking system? Thank you.
The DEPUTY MINISTER OF HIGHER EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY:
Chair, what we must indicate is, all those students, wherever they
are ... hopefully they are listening ... we have been involved in various outreach programmes, social media, and various other media platforms, to try and encourage students to approach their TVET colleges where they studied and use the platform which the TVET colleges have - we are working with them - in order for them to indicate that they've got outstanding diplomas or certificates. Through that platform we will be able to assist them.
