The Impact of Bantu Education on Society

"Education is

no doubt, 

something we cannot do without" 

-Anastashia

Education is and always will be an invaluable tool toward building a bigger and better society. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that everyone is afforded the opportunity to be educated and give them a chance in the world. Though education is more accessible now, it is no secret that this was not always, the case, and the quality of  education was not evenly distributed. The Bantu Education Act brought black schools under the control of the government who forced schools to adopt a racially discriminatory curriculum in order to continue receiving funding. Black schools were subjected to poor quality education and training based on the "belief" that they did not require training for work that they would never be allowed to do (Kallaway, 2002)
