　　Education in South Africa

　　①Since the nineteen nineties, education has been required for all South Africans from age seven to fifteen. Last December, the government announced that②seventy percent of students passed their final examination to finish high school. In 2008, the pass rate was about sixty-three percent.

　　Professor Shires Motala at the University of Johannesburg says④access to basic education is no longer the problem in South Africa. The problem now, she says, is that large numbers of them leave without completing high school. "Only, I think,③around forty-five percent survived, which means that a large number of children ale falling by the wayside."

　　Educational researchers also point to another problem. They say South African schools do not produce enough students with the skills for higher education in math and science.

　　Graeme Bloch, one of those researchers, says many schools are not well-equipped. "⑥Children do not see laboratories and as a result, or partly as a result, their science marks are not very good. They do not have libraries at school. Ninety-two percent of the schools do not have libraries."

　　Also, education specialists say in many cases,⑦teachers and school principals do not have the skills or training to do their jobs. In other cases, they are simply not doing their duty to provide an education.

　　⑧Professor Motala says a number of teachers were poorly trained and have been confused by the educational reform efforts in the last fifteen years. And, finally, she thinks language difference in the classroom have not gotten as much attention as they should.

　　⑨South Africa’s minister of basic education promises a number of improvements. Angie Motshega says teacher development efforts will focus on subject and content knowledge, and that the correct teachers are in the correct jobs.
