with the following:…
The 
affordability of education, career-focused education, industry-relevant
curriculum, practical hands-on training, and flexible study options
PROPOSED WAY FORWARD
Migration of agricultural colleges should be effected as a matter of urgency as it is
long overdue.
DALRRD have promised to finalise migration with no luck we therefore request
the committee to assist us in  prioritising the matter so that all the plans are
implemented to students of all agricultural colleges.
The committee should make sure that the issue of migration is in DHET Annual
Performance Plan with clear milestones.
The committee should call DALRRD and DHET to account about progress to date
and their plan’s going forward.
It is our wish to see migration happening in the next academic year so that student
from disadvantage background can have access to quality education and also
improve their wellbeing.
