Background
The Azanian Student Convention (Azasco) is a Black
Consciousness Student organisation drawing its
membership from Universities, Technikons and
Colleges ( Nursing, Agricultural, Education,
Technical).
It was founded in 1990 on a resolution of the
Azanian Student Movement (Azasm). The Azanian
Student Convention (Azasco) is the official student
wing of the Azanian People's Organisation (Azapo),
which is the only authentic flag bearer of black
consciousness in Azania.
It was officially launched at the Medical University
of Azania (Medunsa) in April 1991.
Aims and Objectives
1. To create a forum for Black Students to
articulate and to express their aspirations as part
of the Black people.
2. To mobilise, politicise and unite students around
the liberatory ideology of Black Consciousness.
3. To encourage the involvement of the students in
problems facing their communities, as well as those
facing the Black people in general.
4. To work towards a nation-building educational
system which will instill a sense of creativity,
identity and self-reliance amongst the students of
AZANIA.
5. To work towards the total transformation of the
present system in this country, and the ushering in
of an anti-racist, Socialist Republic of Azania.
