RE. STATE OF READINESS RTL CAMPAIGN
Revolutionary Greetings Comrades
The South African Student Congress Claude Qavane Branch (South Campus) would love firstly to congratulate and salute the class of 2017 for their performance. We would love them to continue striving for excellence as education plays a pivotal role in the development of the country. We continue to urge everyone to join our campaign which enables schools to function, giving the working class children a fighting chance. To those who did not make it, we say do not despair, repetition is the mother of learning and there are many other alternatives to success. In the words of Julius Caesar, ''Success is not final; failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.''
The Right To Learn Campaign is annual campaign whose objectives is to address issues of access and success in institutions of higher learning. It also seeks to ensure that no student may be denied access. We as SASCO Claude Qavane want to urge and assure the public and the general student population that SASCO is ready to address all student-related issues and live up to its expectation to deliver its popular mandate of building a student friendly campus.
At the heart of the Right to Learn campaign as the organisation we seek to address all student issues whether financial or academic as to ensure no student would be denied access, understanding our historic backgrounds have always been a disadvantage to a number of students. We want to assure everyone that we as SASCO will devote ourselves to tackling all student issues and defeat all counter revolutionary acts composed by the system of oppression that seek to undermine the development of the children of working class background.
We as the Branch give our full and unequivocal support to the SASCO-led SRC. We will continue to encourage comrades deployed to give their utmost service to students and those who wish to come to the institution, we believe that commitment brings excellent service. As SASCO we believe no student shall be denied their chance to prove themselves and change society.
We also want to take this opportunity to express our commitment to the imperative of a progressive rollout of free education to learners and students from poor and working class background households. This is why it was important for the President on 16 December 2017
to declare the piloting of fee-free tertiary education for the poor and working class students.
As a result of the above, students who have met the minimum admission requirements to pursue qualifications at the University will be permitted to register without having to pay the registration fee upfront.
As the Branch we wish all campuses across the country and the movement as a whole a successful Right To Learn Campaign. As a movement we understand that majority of those who come to institutions of higher learning their education is set to be their home's liberation that's why we will continue to foster Transformation to better the lives of many. May we live to transform and make our society better. In the words of the late former President Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most powerful weapon one could use to change society".
We will continue to serve and thank all students for vesting their trust in us. Indeed we will deliver. May we all have a peaceful and a progressive 2018
