Azanian Student Convention


Leadership

*National Executive Committee (NEC)

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.
