Unisa will be part of the future of education

The University of South Africa (Unisa) has been making headlines lately, and not all have been flattering.

From allegations published in City Press accusing the institution of administrative mismanagement to concerns about academic integrity, Unisa has been under intense scrutiny.

Yet, amid the noise, Unisa has quietly been forging new paths.

It has not only been addressing the issues raised but also expanding its global footprint through new strategic partnerships.

It's easy to sensationalise institutional challenges, especially when it comes to a university as large and influential as Unisa.

With its vast student body scattered across Africa and beyond, administrative complexities are inevitable.

However, what is often missing from the public conversation is Unisa's unwavering commitment to tackling these challenges head-on.

The university's leadership, led by vice-chancellor Puleng Lenka Bula, has responded assertively to the allegations, reaffirming their zero-tolerance stance on academic misconduct and emphasising their commitment to delivering high-quality education.
