Changes in Education

Education has made many changes since from 1994 when South Africa got democracy. When the goverment of the African National Congress (ANC) deliver his speech after the elections that education need to be developed as quick as they can to improve the standard of education for all people in the country. Firstly the education for all was introduced to eradicate the old sytem of the apartheid goverment. many funds were given to all poor learners who cannot able to pay the school fees, and suffer from the malnutrition.
In 1996 the outcome-based education (OBE) was introduced to assist learners to work together and help one another to coperate in the school assessments. more funds were given to department of education to build more schools in the townships and in rural arears, more facilities were distributed to many schools, feeding schemes were also introduced to help childrens who don't have pockets money so that they can concentrate on their studies.
In 2005 national curriculum statement (NCS) was also introduced from grade ten to twelves to upgrade the standard of education. And currantly there are also changes that are still occuring. i hope that more and more chnges will be done and perhaps South African education will be in the high level in the near future.
