1. Read Text A below and answer the questions that follow.
TEXT A 5. 10 15 CHANGE THE WORLD
1. The motto of Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University is: “Change the
World”, a noble mission inspired by the famous statement, Nelson
Mandela that “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use
to change the world”. For, “it is through education that the daughter of a
peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the
head of a mine, that the child of farm workers can become the president of
a great nation”.
2. True to the legacy of Nelson Mandela, this University is also a value-
driven institution where social justice and equality are paramount in the
endeavour to rectify the inequalities in our world. The African philosophy
of “ubuntu” underpins what you aim for and do as an institution.
3. Like all universities the world over, in line with your values, you had to
quickly adapt in the face of the pandemic to offer your twenty-nine
thousand or more students online and mask-to-mask tuition. This has not
been easy for you, especially given the gap in content knowledge between
those who are privileged to have access to data, devices, and internet and
those who do not. Source: Adapted from 3
