An alarming number of assignments went unmarked during the first semester at the University of South Africa (Unisa). Out of the 919 986 assignments submitted by Unisa students, a staggering 385 664 assignments were not assessed:
Additionally, nearly 150 000 out of 386 037 students fell short of passing more than half of their modules in 2022. This outcome includes a troubling subset of 37 813 students who received bursaries from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme , yet were unable to pass a single module.
This suspension follows an independent assessment conducted by Professor Themba Mosia, who recommended placing Unisa under administration and relieving both the council and management of their duties. The report’s findings have contributed to the current legal proceedings initiated by Mothata. ‘Unisa is in such a shambolic state due to poor governance by council and mismanagement by the vice-chancellor, the result of which is also a dismal failure by her to ensure that students’ assignments are marked timeously prior to them sitting for the final exams.’
