KSU need to reform their thinking

I am aghast after reading the article Put Quality Before Quantity, University Students Insist (February 11).

I am aghast at the sheer implication of KSU's report on the need to reduce the number of students at University. By whatever means this strategy is to be implemented, it is downright elitist in nature. It would take away the right to education for some members of society and allow this right to some others. This would mean regression not progress.

I graduated a few years ago and I am also a young parent to a primary schoolchild. While the primary to secondary education sector is making efforts towards inclusion, KSU is implying that the tertiary education sector should become more selective.

Am I so naïve as to expect solidarity among students or is this a value of the past? I think that with all the reforms going on it may now be time for a reform of KSU's thinking.
