Based on our research and experience including survey feedback from our students, we recommend that a systemic approach to access is taken in new policies and that this leads to the adoption of support mechanisms before during and after higher education, related to the following five key themes:
• Theme 1. Fees and financial resources
• Theme 2. Further Education and Training (FET) (including Community Education).
• Theme 3. Listening to learners
• Theme 4. Socio-cultural, economic and other barriers
• Theme 5. Appropriate data collection and measuremen
