“South Africa’s education system has long been troubled by challenges. Many suggest that it is in crisis. Despite the celebration of school leaving results in recent years, many researchers have suggested that those quantified outcomes — higher numbers of matriculants, higher pass rates, and greater numbers of university entrants — obscure the poor quality of the education which they correlate with the alarming youth unemployment rates. Jamie-Lee Dormehl, a research associate at ASRI, outlines how international benchmark assessments reveal a more nuanced understanding of South Africa’s basic education system, and how those assessments and the growing body of qualitative research they are informing may hold valuable insights for those interested in and committed to improving the quality of the country’s education.”
