Abstract

This chapter is framed within the broader context of the transformative agenda of higher education sector in post-apartheid South Africa. The #FeesMustFall campaign started late October 2015 and the entire 2016 and has grown to become one of the biggest movements ever witnessed in the history of South African student politics. Similarly to the struggle waged by 1976 youth against the dominance of Afrikaans as the medium of instruction, FMF challenges the current government and universities to provide free, quality, and decolonized higher education. The slow pace of transformation, inaccessibility institutions due to fee increment, and Eurocentric curriculum, among others prompted the students to demand accessible financial inclusion and education relevant to their needs and reality. The chapter makes use of qualitative approach with both secondary and primary data extracted from books, accredited articles, and empirical data from selected participants.

#学费必须下降#运动和追求南非无障碍、高质量和非殖民化的高等教育
本章是在种族隔离后南非高等教育部门变革议程的更广泛背景下制定的。#学费必须下降#运动从2015年10月下旬开始,一直持续到2016年全年,并已发展成为南非学生政治历史上最大的运动之一。与1976年青年反对南非荷兰语作为教学媒介的统治地位的斗争类似,FMF挑战现任政府和大学,以提供免费,高质量和非殖民化的高等教育。转型步伐缓慢,由于费用增加而无法进入机构,以及以欧洲为中心的课程等,促使学生要求与他们的需求和现实相关的无障碍金融包容性和教育。本章使用定性方法,从书籍中提取的次要和主要数据,认可的文章,以及来自选定参与者的经验数据。
