University of South Africa Regional Student Representative Council presentation/ response regarding their perspective on the responsiveness of higher education to COVID19?

Presenter

A student in Law, Sisipho Saunders is the Deputy Chairperson of the Regional SRC and is passionate about social transformation and advocating education and social cohesion among students. 

Originally from the Eastern Cape, this former prefect at the Holy Cross Education Centre decided to pursue studies through Unisa, based on its system of independence, its affordability and the fact that it drives discipline, self-directedness and autonomy as part of her student walk.

Abstract

My input will be based on the experiences of students during the Covid-19 pandemic; the expectations of the student body for Unisa to lead the journey of online learning and the infrastructural shortages that threatens the consequences/implementation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).
