I think the problem is the 30% pass mark in many subjects. I blame the National department of Education. Further the requirements to enter into some faculties. Rather than sitting at home doing nothing, please improve your lower passed subjects. Or go to TVet colleges to aquire skills and knowledge. There is nothing wrong with that and after passing you will be highly considered for employment.

This 30% pass thing ifor academic stream is a lie maan. It's true though that quality of education syllabus content is not really high. Universities are full of foreigners. Not only universities even basic education schools in the suburbs are full of foreigners.
