Education in South Africa
This report focuses on South Africa’s education sector, which despite receiving about 20% of the national budget for two or more decades, continues to produce a dysfunctional public schooling system. Experts say the country’s education system is characterised by crumbling infrastructure, overcrowded classrooms, and poor educational outcomes. The poor quality of public schools and increase in the number of tertiary students who struggle to enter university and public colleges is driving enrolments at private schools and tertiary colleges. While the relaxation of pandemic measures in early 2022 has seen the return in full of school classroom teaching and in-person lectures and lessons at tertiary institutions, education providers say they are likely to continue to incorporate digital technologies in learning programmes.Poor Quality
Schools face an immense learning backlog due to disruptions caused by the pandemic. Demand for private education continues to grow, driven by concern over the continuing poor quality of basic education. Many learners are educated in schools with inadequate and unsafe infrastructure and in a language that is not their mother tongueOnline Learning and Home Schooling
Education providers want to continue to make use of online or remote learning to improve performance and cut costs, and some institutions want to move to hybrid learning. The number of online schools has increased since the onset of the pandemic and the Department of Basic Education has developed a framework for online schooling. Some home schooling companies reported slowing enrolments growth in 2022 as more learners returned to school classrooms.Report Coverage
