Abstract
The poor quality of state controlled black education in South Africa
in the past was mainly caused by low pupil per capita expenditure
and poor teaching. This resulted in many problems. Because of past
neglect, as well as the increase in number of children to be educated,
black education must be revitalised. Government funding is not
adequate, therefore, privatisation and semi-privatisation of education
is a recommended solution. Community and business involvement is
encouraged, and state control should be reduced. Short-term
strategies have been fairly successfully implemented.
With a view to proposing strategies for the upliftment of black
education, the upgrading of teachers through improved INSET and
PRESET Q!_Qfil_~mmes is considered a priority. Already implemented
models, such as Promat, TOPS and the Molteno Project should be
investigated. These programmes have been successful to varying
degrees.
Strategies have been proposed based on the above findings and
guidelines for further research suggested.
