Recommendations
The government should work together with the universities to develop the strategic plan regarding the students fees as some of the students cant afford to pay their study fees. Because i believe that working together can help improve and have better education for all. I cant say free education for all as that will make south Africa economy suffer because even those who are working will also want their children to be granted free education.
