NSFAS's inaction on housing costs enables systemic harm to students' rights and education access. | The NSFAS housing cap and refusal to adjust for rising costs directly undermine access to education (SDG 4) and exacerbate poverty (SDG 1) and inequality (SDG 10). The violation of students' rights to housing and education (UDHR, CRC) is systemic and disproportionately affects marginalized groups. No countervailing positive action is identified in the article.
