I want a WIL allowance,it's so unfair that other universities give their students but the University of Johannesburg does not give us.

It is important that our demand is met, as the school has shown no care to the fact that the Wil becomes our financial burden and to the fact that we are struggling as students.

A WIL allowance would make the entire process easier. Our allowances are not enough to buy food,appropriate attire for WIL as well as transport as many schools are far from where we live.

I'm signing this petition to request the University of Johannesburg to make funds available for BEd students to lesson the financial burden we experience during WIL

The lack of travelling allowance during wil affects me it is almost R1000 to travel for wil on my side and this makes me cut down on my necessities during the wil month

I'm signing to request WIL allowance for all of us education students who have struggles when it comes to transport for WIL since we often travel to schools far from where we stay.

Safiyya Shakeel (Johannesburg , 2023-11-28)

I'm signing this petition because I'm one of those disadvantaged students when it comes to WIL because I live in a rural area where schools are very far except the school I matriculated in.

We as education students need WIL allowance since we have to travel to those schools and also eat lunch. We cannot be expected to be only dependent on NSFAS since it only starts paying in the beginning of the academic year and we have WIL in
January, it also barely covers us throughout the month so with WIL on top of that we suffer.

I am signing because i am one of the student who ran out of near schools to do WIL at which forces me to go to neighbouring schools which are a distance that will demand transportation money. So it is therefore better if the university provides practical allowance to cater students who might be encountering such issues or others

I am signing because i am a student teacher and travelling can be difficult especially if you come from a disadvantaged family like me
I have to leave my parent in debt because if i dont do WIL I won’t graduate

Karabo Mothsana (Johannesburg , 2023-11-28)

#60

I’m signing because I am also a student that is affect by this. It’s very difficult to do practicals in January because my parents don’t have any source of income. They have to loan money so that I can go do the practicals. This then creates a financial burden on my family. Can the faculty please consider our requests as students.

Michelle Tema (Polokwane, 2023-11-28)

We as student teachers are taught to be cognisant and inclusive of the different socio-economic circumstances of our future learners. We are taught to be caring pedagogical practitioners who understand the struggles of those who will be teaching but how can we get to that point if those who are teaching us do not care of the financial burdens we carry in the hopes of someday being these types of teachers. Bachelor of Education students at the University of Johannesburg are struggling to afford to complete Work Integrated Learning, we need the university to care that we are going days without meals and toiletries just so we can save enough money to travel to schools to be caring and efficient student teachers who represent the institution. We need the university to care that we do all this in hunger and in pain but with hopes of a better future. We need support!

Lebo M (Johannesburg , 2023-11-28)

I am signing this petition because as education students studying at UJ we have been disadvantaged with the WIL program. Firstly we are not required to wear jeans and sneakers during WIL this then requires us to buy clothes for WIL since we own mostly sneakers and Jeans. During WIL we need to have lunch which requires money. Last year we even had to travel back home for a week which disadvantaged us financially . lastly, there are things that need to be submitted during our stay at home such as acceptance letters thus then requires data of which we do not have therefore we need to make means.

I’m signing this because as student teachers, we need financial support during our practicals to cover expenses such as transportation, food, and sometimes even accommodation if the practicals are in a different location from our usual residence.

I struggle financially which makes it hard to afford WIL expenses in my budget because I only depend on bursary meal allowance and that cannot cover other expenses than food.

I support the motion of demanding WIL allowance as a student from disadvantaged backround who's negatively affected by the financial demands of WIL including travelling costs.

Imeldah Sekome (Johannesburg , 2023-11-28)

#97

I'm signing because I've also been affected by this having to choose between food or transport for my WIL practice or lunch money for it. Some of us don't have employed parents and depend solely on nsfas money and now we are expected to do WIL in January when allowances haven't come through yet how are we supposed to cover expenses then?

I agree with the issue of wil allowance. As students we are struggling financially to pay for transportation to and from the selected schools, because they are far from home. This is because we are not supposed to do wil at the same school for two years and not to the school we matriculated at. This forces us to go to other areas to find schools are which are far, especially for us from rural areas. Schools are far and there is only one school in an area.

Sindisiwe Gumede (Soweto, 2023-11-28)

#115

I'm signing because I believe that UJ students are in dire need of a WIL allowance for January practicals. At that time of the month, most students do not have the money for not only professional clothes but also for food to eat as well as transport. I sincerely hope that this petition be successful as it will be the catalyst for student satisfaction during wil practicals.

Mamello Malefane (Johannesburg , 2023-11-28)

We as Students are facing financial barriers in pursuing Work Integrated Learning, which hinder our progress in our academic journey. Addressing these financial challenges is crucial for fostering meaningful professional experiences and ensuring students can fully participate in this essential aspect of their education.
We plead with the institution to consider our request or provide an equitable solution to our problem.

I'm signing because I am one of the education students and we really struggle with fundings for transport during our WIL and also we have to buy our own lunch. So, with financial help from the university, thing would be much better, or allow us to do our WIL where we matriculated as it is not too far from our homes

I come from a disadvantaged family. Whenever i have to do January and February WIL I have to financially struggle for transport and lunch money. At this time of the year, NSFAS doesn't fund us. We need financial assistance. Even if it means R500. That's still something.

I'm signing because I profoundly believe that student's concerns should be heard and addressed, such as the WIL allowance matter, since it will be of help to students who are financially incapable of paying travel transport for themselves.

I need WIL allowance for the last three upcoming years of my studies as I suffer financially to be able to accomodate the WIL. And as I am from a disadvantaged family, I am expected to use my monthly meal allowance, meaning that I do not buy food, but pay travelling expenses to and from the school I will be doing the WIL.
