South Africa's Education Crisis
- SA is among the worst- performing education systems in the world
- Only 17.4% of the Western Cape's grade 6 students have grade-level numeracy skills and
48.6% have grade-level literacy skills

Without the skills, knowledge and practices required, learners are unable to access tertiary education. Without educated young black citizens, South Africa cannot escape the inequalities
engineered by apartheid.
It is only through equal access to quality education that the promise of a transformed SA can truly be
realised
