Every student at the North-West University (NWU) is helping to shape the future of our country. During Youth Month, we shift our focus to the youth of 1976, who helped fight for equal and inclusive education. They continue to inspire the youth of today to strive for a better future.

You learn about compound interest in a textbook, maybe, but nobody sits you down and explains what to do when you are drowning in debt, tempted by a flashy investment scheme, or just trying to make a grocery budget stretch to the end of the month. The NWU Student Leadership Academy, working alongside the Student Representative Council, set out to change that and, in the first week of May 2026, it did.
Values are not only spoken about at the North-West University (NWU), they are lived and they are recognised.
