Nzimande is expected to speak on plans for higher education, as well as concerns raised by the public on funding, and the return of medical students to campus.
The Department of Higher Education and Training decided not to resume campus-based activity during Level 4, including at all universities and TVET (technical vocational education and training) colleges, both public and private, News24 previously reported.
The department presented plans for the opening of universities, (TVET) colleges and community education and training (CET) colleges.
At TVET colleges, students would return to campus once the National Coronavirus Command Council has taken into account all necessary health and other considerations.
CET college students would only return from early June under Level 3, and the academic calendar would be amended to align it with the declaration of Level 3.
