*Press Alert* *YCLSA National University Based Branch Summit *
17 September 2011 The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] is holding its second National University Based Branch Summit, in the Province of KwaZulu Natal, Saints Hospitality centre, Durban (17 September 2011 to 18 September). The purpose of the Summit is to interrogate the role of the Young Communist League in higher education and training, develop a comprehensive program of action to be undertaken by our branches in Higher education. As YCLSA we have over years noted challenges that engulf Higher education and training, we are convinced that while the department has done a lot of work in transforming this sector, more still needs to be done to ensure that there is speedy transformation in higher education. We are of the view that our government can provide free education to the sons and daughters of the working class if it can reconfigure its spending priorities. As YCLSA we vow to fight with all means at our disposal to ensure that we realise free education in our life time. We also commit ourselves to fight for the curriculum change in our country. We have noted over the years the bitter struggle between the progressive youth formations (YCLSA, SASCO and ANCYL) on SRC elections. We are of the view that this in itself constitutes an impediment to the cause of transforming our education system. As a result of these and many other challenges the second plenary session of the third National Congress committee resolved to convene a summit which shall pave a way forward on all these and many other challenges By the end of the summit we want our branches to mobilise students to ensure that financial aid offices implement government commitments, that they engage NSDS III, promote skills development initiatives for youth in communities, intensify campaign for full implementation of free education within a shortest interval, launch a focused campaign against corruption on our universities. The declaration of the summit will be availed for media our membership and our constituencies.
