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.
