#FeesMustFall is a student-led movement in South Africa that began in 2015, advocating for the reduction or elimination of university tuition fees. The movement emerged in response to rising education costs, which many students found unaffordable. It aimed to address issues of access to higher education, particularly for marginalized communities. The protests gained significant attention and support, leading to nationwide demonstrations and discussions about the funding of public universities. The movement highlighted broader issues of inequality and the need for systemic change in the South African education system, prompting government and institutional responses to the demands of the students.
