Abstract
This research study is informed by the White Paper for Post-School Education and Training
(2013) in which the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) sets out its focus
and priorities concerning higher education and training. The main purpose of this study is to
find out how mature students participate despite the barriers that they experience while
participating in post-school education and to offer an opportunity to achieve greater clarity
about the way that the students who exercised agency overcame the barriers that they faced and
in turn, achieved success.
