Answer:
Joshua, the broader population of Bantu of school-going age got an education, which would not otherwise have happened. True, it was not top quality, but equally, it had to start from nothing.
One cannot ’enact’ an Education System, it must be built up, starting with teaching the teachers of the students. To start with it was not all that good, but it was ‘trying’ & notably, was gradually improving. I for one will not call it ‘Good’, but the Nationalist Administration’s investment in Education puts all the work of all colonial & post-colonial regimes TO SHAME. I refer specifically to the record of the British Colonies & to their successors, the post-colonial British Commonwealth countries in Africa.
The students’ revolt in the Soweto Riots destroyed all that, & since then, following even through the New South Africa to the present, the ANC’s record in Education is shocking & shameful. Come, let us dwell on that: Where it matters; to this day.
