Fair and inclusive Examination system for Unisa students.

The Issue

I Mangaliso Matiwane, A UNISA student. I have seen a lot of students struggling to complete their examination because of the System of the University. I believe that the multiple choice question system whereby you download the exam paper was perfect and inclusive for everyone, unlike the myexam system which does not allow students to answer what they know first and is forever loading to view the next question while time is moving. The total loading time when you go to next questions can take up to 50% even more of the exam time. as Unisa students, we struggled to complete our exams, and am sure that many will be academically and financially excluded. we want the University of South Africa to take us serious and understand that half of the University students are from rural areas. we need inclusive system which is not going to indirectly exclude us. I believe that the University of the country should lead by example and respect our right to education. DHET must intervene to this exclusive system which only favors the advanced . 

we are tired of being stressed by how are we going to submit although we studied enough, and we say no to any exclusion because is not our fault but the university.
