Education: A Basic Human Right
Teachers, parents, students and politicians discuss the problems of education in South Africa
brought about by apartheid (difficulties in obtaining a good education, violence, lack of
teaching materials, overcrowding, obsolete books, housing problems, low or no pay for teachers
and their lack of status, high rates of illiteracy). To rectify this, during their policy
conference in May 1992, the ANC made specific commitments to education in South Africa,
inter alia, provision of a minimum of 10 years free and compulsory education, provision
for those with disabilities and special learning needs, improving educational quality,
ensuring education for young people expelled or having dropped out of school as a consequence
of apartheid, development and provision of adult education, leading to the establishment
of a single non-racial equal and democratic education system.
