An annual, capped, R45,000 accommodation fee per student in public higher-learning institutions is sustainable, says the National Student Financial Aid Scheme.
The second, the mid-student market, targeted middle-income students with an affordability range of between R3,000 to R4,500 a month. Such accommodation typically provided larger bedrooms compared with the NSFAS market, and came with amenities and services such as student support services, entertainment areas and other social amenities. It was often occupied by students who “top up” their NSFAS accommodation allowances.
These premium packages may also include the use of student services and other amenities. The price point of upper-end student housing was between R5,000 and R8,000 a month, but in exclusive nodes and developments could top R14,000.“Given the diversified market for student accommodation, NSFAS settled for the middle ground, which is the second market segment, based on affordability,” Skosana said.
