departments namely :
Department of Basic Education(focuses on primary &
secondary schools).
Department of Higher Education and Training (focuses on
Tertiary level training).

libraries,educational fundings).
Historically white and Indian schools still outperforms black
and colored schools in their academic performances

the same way as the racial segregation. The Bantu
Education system was designed to train and fit
“black Africans for their role as laborers, workers,
servants. In the evolving apartheid society. The act
was passed in 1953,The Bantu education Act was
about more than segregating classrooms, it
prescribed an inferior education for Black African
children.
• In the enactment of apartheid laws in 1948 racial
discrimination was institutionalized. Race laws
touched every aspect of social life, including a
prohibition of marriage between non-whites and
whites, the sanctioning of white-only “jobs, and
the separation of public space, in 1950 the
population registration Act required that all South
Africans be racially classified into one of three
categories : Whites, blacks(Africans)/or
coloreds(mixed race).The coloreds category
included major subgroups of Indians and Asians.
The classification base on Appearance, social
acceptance and family lineage.
