Abstract
New green paper on higher education lacks a clear vision
Highlights
The new green paper on higher education correctly places emphasis on vocational training, but offers little in the way of a coherent plan to implement the necessary changes in the system
Perhaps the most serious problem facing the development of South Africa is its 3 million 18–24 year olds who are neither in any kind of tertiary education, nor in the labour market
The paper acknowledges a crucial problem with the current system
