How did education change for nonwhite children during apartheid?
*
The schools were only allowed to teach nonwhite children things like counting and manual labor skills
The lessons taught in schools for nonwhite children got much more challenging so that it was hard for them to graduate
Schools became integrated with white and nonwhite children being taught together
The schools for nonwhite children were all shut down and they had no access to education
The schools for nonwhite children during apartheid were subjected to strict segregation and discrimination. Nonwhite children were only taught basic skills such as counting and manual labor, while white children received a more comprehensive education. The curriculum for nonwhite children was limited and did not provide them with the same opportunities for advancement as white children.
Furthermore, the government enforced Bantu Education, which aimed to limit educational opportunities for nonwhite children and prepare them only for subordinate roles in society. Schools for nonwhite children were under-resourced, overcrowded, and often poorly maintained. Teachers were also poorly trained and the quality of education for nonwhite children was significantly lower than that of white children.
Overall, education for nonwhite children during apartheid was severely restricted and did not provide them with the same opportunities for success as white children. The system perpetuated inequality and reinforced segregation in South African society.
