Fee-free higher education may not sufficiently impact unemployment and inequality rates, considering the costs
Year: 2025

Abstract: The South African government has validated the right of its citizens to free tertiary education. Since the #FeesMustFall movement in 2016, it has been committed to subsidising fee-free education for 90% of academically qualified university and college students. Yet these investments come at a cost. HSRC research draws attention to the potential consequences of providing South African youth with tuition-free higher education.
