The Higher Education and Training Department is giving over R70 million to fund post-school studies.

The step forms part of an agreement between government and the private sector, which aims to widen access to post-school education and training for the youth.

The learnerships are aimed at boosting the number of mid-level financial administrators in municipalities.

The Department points out that money made available to the national student financial aid scheme has more than doubled over the past two years to R6 billon.
