Continuities and discontinuities in student leadership: has co-operative governance failed?

Abstract

With this final chapter, the authors seek to draw out a set of findings from a first analysis of the reflections of the 12 featured student leaders.60 To begin, they provide an analysis of the data as a whole. We then analyse the chapters in pursuit of responding to the tough questions asked in the opening chapter of this book: * Has the post-apartheid regulatory framework for higher education governance failed? * Have the provisions for student representation failed? * Is there need for a re-imagining of higher education governance and student leadership therein?
