Monday morning was spent at the University of the Western Cape where we all gained an insight into the three themes. At this stage in the tour we were all consolidating the information gained from other institutions and fine tuning the areas we wanted to examine. The discussions ranged from the outreach work being done to improve school leavers' grades in mathematics to the political history of the institution, and from the need to positively manage the political energy of the students to the performance and leadership development programmes offered to staff. Unfortunately we did not have time to tour the beautiful campus but we caught a glimpse of some of it:
The afternoon saw the team visiting the University of Cape Town where we again engaged in wide ranging discussions touching on all of our chosen themes. As with all of our visits there simply wasn't enough time to answer all of our questions and we continued to gain new insights into the Higher Education sector in South Africa.
