Finally the #Feeshavefallen but the real work begins now - deciding how we fund our institutions of higher education and create opportunities for those eager to learn. As we heap praise on students for their energy in getting President Jacob Zuma and his cabinet to act, we should face the truth.Not all students can handle a university education. Not all students will pass their first year of tertiary education. Only those who have the brains, zeal and willingness to succeed deserve our attention.Free education should not mean unrestricted entry to our universities and the freedom to walk away without passing a single subject, which would waste scarce resources.That is why it is important that, in our endeavour to free education from the shackles of profit, we set standards and demand that whoever acquires free tertiary education is not only deserving but will be able to finish his or her studies.It is shocking when one looks at the number of students who fail to advance beyond the first year, and it gets even worse when one looks at how few finish their degree on time.We should understand that we have limited resources and that it is essential that we set clear guidelines on who should benefit from free education.#FreeForAll will never fly and is an insult to all those who work for a better tomorrow.Although our government should shoulder much blame for the educational mess we are in today, we must be wary of protests that involve a dangerous endgame.As the students' protests continue on some university campuses, the violence seems to be getting worse. Those at the front of the protests should raise their voices against those who are now burning university property.Burning and looting send a worrying message to parents and all those who support the struggle for affordable education.Criminality should never be a tool in our struggle for a better tomorrow...
