Students are angry over funding, registration and accommodation issues. Ramaphosa says national funding scheme NSFAS will be a priority in 2019.
"Stabilising the business processes of NSFAS will also be a priority in the coming year so that it is properly capacitated to carry out its critical role in supporting eligible students."
