The South African education system is under considerable pressure to provide access and quality education to its people and altogether this can be achieved through drastic transformation in our education system. Starting from secondary education carried onto tertiary.  The prolific challenge faced today our secondary education overflows to tertiary levels and to the cooperate market primarily because of a few pointers contributing to this dilemma faced by South Africa, namely:

·         The role of universities in providing quality education

·         The low and middle class not having the financial muscle further studies

·         A dire need for further development of this education sector

·         Establishing more universities with facilities that can accommodate enormous quantities of pupils.

The problem that I see is faced by many universities is the second bullet point, students from poor families not being able to further or complete their degrees because of finances. Especially in the university of the Free State, I say this because it is where I am registered so I know what my fellow students are facing. Solutions can be that first The university can have 0% increment in their fees because the increase of fees is main factor of the protests of the #FeesMustFall, where students were protesting violently so that the university and the government can hear and help with their concerns. The 0% increment will allow students to complete their degrees and be able to afford the fees and not forgetting the university will still make money and not lose in the process.

The second solution can be that government to increase funding in terms of NSFAS and bursaries, it can do this by stopping wasteful spending and relocate that money to tertiary education. Universities can look for opportunities in cutting costs and increasing efficiencies, by looking at how the system can be changed while maintaining high quality of education.

The third solution is the university can compile a list of students who are really struggling financially and let them pay half of the fees but that is not ideal because it will not be fair on the other students who are doing the same courses and the school will not be making enough money like it is used to and will not have enough to pay for enough lectures.
