I am surprised that more resources are not spent on tackling education in South Africa. The system is clearly crumbling, and some schools which may have been disastrous in the past, appear never to have recovered. We will never sort out the various challenges and problems facing this country if we continue to have problems and schools that produce 25 matriculant passes out of 250 pupils, while children have holes in the classroom floor and books are delivered months late.

Sadly, the only thing that the teachers ever seem to be in the news for is either having sex with the pupils or being on strike and we certainly need to focus much more of our priorities, and time, on education in South Africa.
