Ms. Erika Potgieter, Lecturer in Mathematics Education, from the Faculty of Education, recently returned from the Erasmus+ International Teaching Week in Koper, Slovenia, and shared her reflections on the value of the experience:

"Representing the Faculty of Education at the University of Primorska was a deeply transformative experience. This mobility highlights exactly why academic staff should embrace these global opportunities.โ€

Key highlights from Potgieterโ€™s trip included:

- Delivering a formal presentation on mathematics education to international delegates and students within the class of Sloveniaโ€™s Minister of Education, Prof. Dr. Darjo Felda.

- Establishing vital linkages with counterparts from Slovenia, India, Uzbekistan, and the Czech Republic for future research and student exchange partnerships.

- Visiting local schools and kindergartens to gain firsthand insights into multilingual education and assessment to enrich teaching practices back home.

Walk past the international office today and you can feel it โ€” the deep winter hibernation is slowly setting in as the student body crosses the halfway mark of the exam season. The frantic energy of the last few weeks is gently shifting into a quieter, more focused hum.

For our current international student cohort, this means they are experiencing the final chapter of the first semester at SU: pushing through the final stretch of academics while witnessing the beautiful, crisp start of a true Stellenbosch winter.

To everyone diving back into the books for the second half: youโ€™ve got this! Keep your focus sharp, your coffee warm, and remember that the finish line is well within sight.

On 28 May 2026, Stellenbosch University International hosted a visiting delegation from New York University Abu Dhabi, led by Professor Erich Dietrich (Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education) and Professor Teboho Moja (Higher Education), alongside seven of their students. The purpose of their visit to the Stellenbosch campus was to conduct an in-depth field study exploring the theme, โ€œWhat is fair in University Admissions,โ€ To provide real-world context to complex policy discussions, the group engaged with academic and administrative leadership across various SU departments โ€” including an insightful session on the SU's Language Policy with Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Learning and Teaching, Prof Richard Stevens and contributions from Celeste Nel (Deputy Registrar, Applications, Student Accommodation and Clients), Christelle Feyt (Senior Director: Student Recruitment), and Marquard Timmey (Head: Careerโ€™s Office).

We extend our sincere thanks to the NYU Abu Dhabi faculty and students for their visit.

At the end of last month, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the Africa Regional Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation brought together scholars, policymakers, and institutional leaders from across the continent.

What struck me across the sessions and side meetings that often carry the real work of such gatherings was the extent to which African voices are now setting the continentโ€™s own agenda for higher education, research and innovation.

Frameworks such as Agenda 2063 and the Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa (STISA), now in its 2034 iteration and endorsed by the African Union (AU) Executive Council in February 2025, are no longer aspirational documents written for an external audience. They are working frameworks, developed by Africans for Africans, and they shape the way the continentโ€™s higher education and research institutions increasingly think about their own future.
