NEHAWU Congratulates SASCO On a Successful National Policy Conference
Friday November 28, 2025
The National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union [NEHAWU] congratulates our reliable ally, the South African Students Congress [SASCO] for convening a successful National Policy Conference [NPC] held on the 04th - 07th December 2025 in Mbombela, Mpumalanga.
The NPC was held under the theme “From Revolutionary Strategy to Policy Action: Evaluating and Strengthening SASCO’s Capacity as an Engine of Sectoral and Societal Transformation”.
The NPC serves as a platform to deliberate, develop and amend the organisational policies. The NPC officially launched a Historic Students’ Charter and furthermore deliberated how best to position SASCO in order to continue playing a critical role in the transformation of the post-schooling and training sector and advancing student’s struggles.
The task of transforming the higher education sector remains a critical priority in the holistic transformational project of the country and as such the national union will continue working with SASCO in taking forward the Student-Worker Alliance with an objective of transforming the higher education landscape.
As NEHAWU, we are looking forward in engaging with SASCO to take forward resolutions of the NPC and jointly work on resuscitating the Education Front for People’s Education for People’s Power and coordinate and campaign for the seven features defined for education in late 80’s for the new South Africa and use them as a yard stick to measure progress on the transformation of education in our country.
