King, Ms C to ask the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation

What is the total number of students according to demographics of (a) race, (b) gender and (c) disability that each university has enrolled in each faculty in the 2024 academic year?

Reply:

The Department is not in a position to share current (2024) enrolment data as the data has not been validated and audited at the university level. Ordinarily university audits are completed around July, Audited Disability enrolment stats have been disaggregated by race and gender in the table below. Unfortunately, DHET does not categorise student data in terms of the faculty they are located in.
