Chairperson, I just want to ask the hon Minister if he doesn't believe in striving to achieve effectiveness in the bursary system and the fact that it would be better to have one bursary fund in South Africa. I am referring to the issue that, at many levels in the provinces, there are premiers' bursary funds and in some departments there are bursary funds that are allocated to serve the interests of the students.
I am asking this question specifically regarding its practicality. In many instances, students apply for bursaries but for various reasons, be it administrative difficulties or whatever, they don't succeed in getting the necessary bursary funds to go to an institution of higher education at the right time at the beginning of the year. So, the question relates to the effectiveness of the system. Thank you, Chairperson.
