Will TVET Colleges Receive Laptops
Will TVET Colleges Receive Laptops
YES. All TVET Colleges receive laptops from NSFAS. As part of the South African government’s mission to ensure that the COVID-19 pandemic does not have an impact on teaching and learning at higher education and training institutions, the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Innovation directed NSFAS to procure learning devices for students to ensure that the blended learning methodology is implemented. Following that, the NSFAS Digital Learning Device Programme was launched. All eligible students of NSFAS can apply for their laptops now.
NSFAS laptops are given to students who enrol in any of the accredited TVET colleges in South Africa. To qualify for this great incentive, you must be a South African national who has successfully gone through all the registration and verification processes of his preferred institution.
