Explanation:
1. Free Education Must Go Hand-in-Hand With Decolonization
Abdulla begins by pointing out that free education and decolonization of the higher education system are not separate issues, but rather interrelated.
I can’t disagree with him here. As RS co-founder Christiaan van Huyssteen recently pointed out, where you stand on #FeesMustFall will likely also determine where you stand on issues like decolonization and other matters related to the subversive ideology of social justice. It is therefore no surprise that the fallist movement isn’t concentrating on anything in isolation; indeed, as principled South African libertarians and classical liberals have been pointing out since the very first demands from #RhodesMustFall that it is not simply about a statue, or about fees, or about accessibility. This is an ideological movement which at its root is opposed to the notions of individual freedom and self-fulfillment.
The author states that a university must be a “space where scholars are provided with the knowledge, skills and training they need to better serve society,” rather than a model which serves the “production-based system”. With this, obviously, the author means that universities must ensure that whoever enters the space must exist as an avowed revolutionary committed to the goals and ideology of the State, who is ready to toe the line for whatever is deemed to be in the collective interest.
2.. Student Loans Are Not the Answer
Next, Abdulla writes that student loans often do more harm than good, either by placing students in perpetual debt, or, on a more fundamental level, forcing students to choose different careers which might help them repay their debt.
This is true enough. But the premise of this section is flawed, in that on the whole Abdulla and the fallists consider the State to be the answer to the lack of access to education, when, in fact, it has been the State which has caused our higher education system to be in this position in the first place. And, furthermore, any attempt to pursue decolonization or ‘free’ education, will simply contribute to the problem by way of seeing wealth leave our shores and the cost of living – in areas outside of education as well – getting more expensive. As I wrote last month:
“Building on the tradition of its predecessor, the new government went full steam ahead with regulation, and threats of nationalization and expropriation. (Aside: the GEAR economic program gave South Africa a few good years of economic growth and a hopeful future, but it was quickly dismissed as ‘neoliberal’ and shelved.) Higher education, predictably, became or remained expensive, coupled with the fact that the government itself was not building any new universities, or allowing the private sector to do so with ease.
Come 2015, and leftist students are upset that higher education is expensive. With the lack of competition in the higher education market and an absolute monopoly held by the Department of Higher Education, this was predictable, and was always a certainty in South Africa’s future.”
Affordable education will require a broad transformation of South Africa’s higher education system. At best, the Department of Higher Education, along with the Higher Education Act and the bulk of education regulations, must be abolished and the private sector must be allowed to do what it does best: respond to market and societal demands. Or, at least, the system must be deregulated to such an extent as to allow the private sector to compete with public universities. At this stage in time, this is impossible. Student loans by the State, if one understands the complexities and reality of welfare, were never going to render education open to all. Free education, as we have discussed at length at the Rational Standard, will have even worse consequences.
Because The education is not a free purpose so that te education is very important our life
