The Right to Education [1995] ZAConAsmRes 1293 (16 May 1995)

The right to education

In the past we were living under apartheid rule. Bantu education was not good at that time. Students were forced to do subjects which they did not want to do and that claimed many lives.

Now it is the to stand up, irrespective of colour for the right to learn and be educated. As we have chosen a new government, we hope to get better education. It must be free so that everybody can have it. By so doing they will decrease the high rate of illiteracy and unemployment..

I suggest that our government, before making any changes, must start by changing education. Teachers must be well trained, stationery must be free, old schools must be rebuilt and in the classroom there must be equipments.

Education is the key to success..
