The Qwaqwa Campus of the University of the Free State (UFS) will reopen on 28 February 2022. The decision was made by the university management today after the campus was closed on 22 February 2022 due to violent protest action.
From 28 February 2022 to 4 March 2022, all classes will be presented online.
Students will be informed by their respective faculties about the model of academic delivery that will be followed from 7 March 2022.
The arrangement is estimated to continue for two to three weeks at the most, after which the academic programme will return to the approved teaching plans for 2022.

The Department of Education recently hosted a memorial lecture as part of this year’s Human Rights Day celebrations. The lecture, with the theme “Reflecting on Democratic leadership for change and transformation underpinned on Constitutional Values”, aimed to encourage and develop a culture of discussions amongst the youth.
Prof. Dennis Francis, Dean of the Faculty Education at the University of the Free State (UFS) presented a paper at the memorial lecture. His paper, titled “Multiculturalism in South Africa: Education in a shadow of a rainbow”, impressed everybody in the audience.
The audience consisted of learners from various secondary schools in Motheo District Municipality and their principals. Officials from the Department of Education both at district and provincial level also attended the lecture.
