Cota students end strike, classes to resume
College of the Arts (Cota) students enrolled for its media courses will resume classes next week Monday after government agreed to meet their demands. The students embarked on a strike this week following a decision by the education, arts and culture ministry to cancel courses for media students due to budget cuts. More than 140 students were affected by the cancellation of the courses. Education permanent secretary Sanet Steenkamp said the matter has been resolved in good faith. “All classes for all courses will resume Monday 19 June onwards, as sustainable solutions were found for the immediate staff shortages. The ministry has fast-tracked solutions to problems resulting from historical issues and financial constraints,” she said in a statement.
