As friction continues over the payment methods employed by NSFAS, the government entity wants universities to help it verify students.
At a media briefing held on Monday, NSFAS Board chairperson, Ernest Khosa, called on tertiary institutions to do their part in helping to verify students who receive aid.
“NSFAS policy requires institutions to send updated registration monthly, therefore any wrong payments, such as those paid to students who have dropped out or not attending classes, would be as a result of institutions not alerting NSFAS through this process,” he explained. Along with a lack of assistance by institutions to help verify students, Khosa pointed out that, “closer to payment dates, the system experiences technical glitches caused by high internet traffic due to students registering at the same time. Onboarding for TVET college students continues on an ongoing basis as new students enrol.”
