- Description
- Minister Blade Nzimande outlines the government's vision for an integrated and differentiated post-school education system. He addresses the tension between academic freedom and the developmental needs of the state, arguing that while the government does not seek to "muzzle" universities, academic freedom must not be used as a shield to avoid social accountability or to hide corruption. He specifically critiques the "hysterical" opposition to the State Information Bill.
