As classrooms across Africa reopen for the new term, university students in South Africa have vowed to step up their #feesmustfall protests and demands for free education. From January, Tanzania’s new President John Magufuli has ordered free education for all school children attending state primary and secondary school. “And when I say free education, I indeed mean free,” he said. Tanzania was one of 15 African countries – including Ghana, Ethiopia and Kenya - to abolish school fees in the early 2000s.
