Going to class hungry can decrease concentration levels and food is a need in a student's life. Most of UJ students have to rely on junk from street vendors which is not healthy.. a call for help.

#1208

In order for students to fully concentrate on their studies, stresses such as where their next meal will come from should be the last thing on their minds and I feel as though universities should try and assist with this regard where they can.

Food is the most important thing to keep the body and mind functioning, I am now coming to school every day early just so that I could get to GoG and sometimes I am in class during the day when I get out the food is finished therefore I then worry abput what to eat when I get home because my mother is not working which she struggles to give me money for crocery and all as she has to support my siblings as well.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-16)

#1339

I need the Nsfas food allowance,Your correct in saying GOG food is unhealthy because it gives an allergy after eating it

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-16)

#1342

I agree, GoG is not doing any good to students instead it is just a waste of time that one uses to cue on those long cues for a plate , which means they will bunk some of their classes whilst cueing for a plate, Uj NSFAS must provide food allowance for the students

Its unfair for the students.

(Johannesburg, 2018-03-16)

#1359

I Thato Matjie also a Nsfas I acknowledge that every student won't be able to focus and be able to fulfill his/her dreams in terms of studying without food, which one of the important needs.

Most students, I even include myself can't wake up in the morning go to school with hunger, can not even concentrate in class.

I recommend that food allowance for students must be the first priority that the university has to start taking positive impacts and meet the needs of the students.

#1373

We need food allowance rather than them giving us a lot of money for books and no food allowance how can you study with an empty stamach

(Barberton, 2018-03-16)

#1375

Because we as first and second year students here at the university of Johannesburg we are do not receive monthly allowance from Nsfas hence as result it becomes an issue because some of us we come from struggling families who hardly manage to send monthly allowance then with the allowance from NSFAS it would help us at least get the money to buy food which is essential for living and also focus on our academics. Not with an empty stomachs which makes u to lose concentration while in class.
