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.

Dr Nalize Marais from the Planning Unit of the University of the Free State (UFS) has become the first international student to be nominated for the Politics of Education Association (PEA) award. The PEA is an association based in the United States of America (USA) and Dr Marais recently attended the association’s annual conference in Denver, Colorado, where she was one of three finalists nominated in the PEA Best Dissertation Award category. This award is designed to foster and support graduate student research and publication on political processes and outcomes concerning education in the USA and abroad. The aim is to highlight and reward scholars studying political issues in education, as distinct from the interdisciplinary approaches taken by policy studies.
