Moving on up

Tertiary studies are so important for young South Africans. According to Department of Higher Education, only 7.3% of the South African populations between 25-64 years obtained a degree. Black South Africans and coloured people have the lowest degree graduation rates based on the same study.

Graduating with a degree in South Africa is a rare occurrence.

Nonetheless, the young lady has been able to reach a dream that many South Africans haven't been able to do so. The rest of the TikTokkers profile shows her living her life up. One mini vlog she shared with her followers showed how she studied at her desk and what she ate for that morning. Another vlog she shared showed what she got up to in July.

South Africans were happy for the lady's achievement and congratulated her passionately. Some stated they wish they could have seen her.
