EDUCATION IN SOUTH AFRICA

All South Africans have a right to basic education and the Bill of Rights obliges the government to progressively make education available and accessible through reasonable measures. The Department of Basic Education (DBE) is responsible for Outcome 1 (quality basic education) of government’s Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) 2014-2019.

The aim of the DBE, which deals with all schools from Grade R to Grade 12, is to develop, maintain and support a South African school education system for the 21st century.

The department continues to focus on:

accelerating delivery and improving school infrastructure;

enhancing teaching and learning by ensuring access to high quality learner and teacher support materials; improving grade 12 completion rates;

providing educational opportunities to learners with severe to profound intellectual disabilities;

increasing the supply of quality teachers;

monitoring performance; and providing nutritious meals to learners in schools through the

National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP).

The NSNP continues to contribute to the NDP’s priority of eliminating poverty and supporting food security by providing meals to schools, feeding over nine million learners each year in quintile 1 to 3 schools.

Providing school infrastructure

The DBE aimed to complete remaining infrastructure projects to eliminate backlogs and replace unsafe school structures. It planned to replace 50 inappropriate and unsafe schools with newly built schools, and also provide water to 325 schools and sanitation to 286 schools in the 2018/19 financial year.

School attendance

According to the General Household Survey 2017, nationally, 32,3%  of individuals  aged five years and older attended an educational institution. Approximately  87,5%  of South African individuals  above the age  of five years who attended educational institutions,  attended school, while a further 4,5% attended tertiary institutions.

By comparison, only 2,1%  of individuals  attended Technical and  Vocational  Education and Training (TVET) colleges. Whilst the percentage in this broad age group has not changed, at peak ages of 7–15 years, attendance is almost universal.

Just over a fifth (21,8%)  of premature school leavers in this age  group mentioned ‘a lack of money’ as the reason for not studying,  while 18,9%  reportedly fell out due to poor academic performance.

Although 9,7% of individuals left their studies as a result of family commitments (i.e. getting married, minding children and pregnancy), it is noticeable that a larger percentage of females than males offered this as a reason (18,5%  compared to 0,4%).

Whilst this observation is accurate, the data also suggest that the ‘No fee’ school system and other funding initiatives are beginning to show improved results. The percentage of learners who reported that they were exempted from paying tuition fees increased from 0,4% in 2002 to 66,0% in 2017.

Provincially, 91,4% of learners in Limpopo and 76,6% of learners in Eastern Cape attended no-fee  schools, compared to 48,8% of learners in Western Cape and  48,5%  of learners in Gauteng.

There were approximately 14  million learners at school in 2017, of which 5,9% attended private schools. Three-quarters (77,3%) of learners who attended public schools benefited from school feeding schemes. Furthermore, 68,1% of learners walked to school, while 8,2% used private vehicles.

Generally, the percentage of learners who experienced corporal punishment at school in 2017 has decreased nationally since 2009 and 6,8% of learners reportedly experienced corporal punishment at school  in 2017.

Corporal punishment was most common at schools in Eastern Cape (12,7%)  and  Free State (12,6%). In terms of metros, it was most common at schools in Mangaung (14,9%). Approximately 686 000 students were enrolled at higher educational institutions during 2017. More than two-thirds (66,4%) of these students were black African. However, proportionally this group is still under-represented.

Only 3,4%  of black Africans aged 18 to 29 years were studying as opposed to 13,8% of Indian/Asian individuals and 18% of the white population in this age group. Only 3,5% of the coloured population was studying during 2017.

Educational attainment outcomes continue to improve with improved access to educational facilities and services. Among individuals aged 20 years and older, the percentage who attained Grade 12 as their highest level of education increased from 30,7%  in 2002  to 43,6%  in 2017. Furthermore the percentage of individuals with tertiary qualifications improved from 9,2%  to 13,9%.

The percentage of individuals without any schooling decreased from 11,4%  in 2002 to 4,7% in 2017. Although results show that there were declines in percentages of persons who had no formal schooling in all the provinces over the period 2002 to 2017.

Whilst functional illiteracy declined from 27,3%  in 2002 to13,7% in 2017, improved access to schooling has led to a significant decline in the percentage of functionally illiterate individuals in the 20–39 age group.

Between 2002 and 2017, the prevalence of functional  illiteracy in the age group 20–39 years declined noticeably for both men (17,1%  to 6,0%) and women (15,8%  to 3,5%). The adult literacy rate, however, lagged behind the national average (94,3%) in provinces such as Northern Cape (89,5%), North West (89,6%) and Limpopo (89,9%). source:South African Government
