Venita

Venita Januarie is passionate about social justice and initially studied her BSc and PGCE to train as a teacher before pursuing an Honours Degree in Education at Stellenbosch University. Recognizing the limited number of black and socio-economically disadvantaged students entering Higher Education in South Africa, she was motivated to pursue her master’s studies in the sociology of education and work towards tackling these injustices. She hopes to develop her own access programs to increase representation of rural and black students in Higher Education.
