resources(e.g libraries,educational fundings).Historically white and Indian schools still outperforms

black and colored schools in their academic performances

• The previous education system was categorized the same way as the racial segregation. The Bantu Education system was designed to train and fit “black Africans for their role as laborers, workers, servants. In the evolving apartheid society. The act was passed in 1953,The Bantu education Act was about more than segregating classrooms, it prescribed an inferior education for Black African children.

• In the enactment of apartheid laws in 1948 racial discrimination was institutionalized. Race laws touched every aspect of social life, including a prohibition of marriage between non-whites and whites, the sanctioning of white-only “jobs, and the separation of public space, in 1950 the population registration Act required that all South Africans be racially classified into one of three categories : Whites, blacks(Africans)/or coloreds(mixed race).The coloreds category included major subgroups of Indians and Asians. The classification base on Appearance, social acceptance and family lineage.
