1976 Soweto Uprising

Bantu Education Act , South African law , enacted in 1953 and in effect from January 1, 1954, that governed the education of Black South African (called Bantu by the country’s government) children. It was part of the government’s system of apartheid , which sanctioned racial segregation and discrimination against nonwhites in the country.

From about the 1930s the vast majority of schools serving Black students in South Africa were run by missions and often operated with state aid. Most children, however, did not attend these schools. In 1949 the government appointed a commission, headed by anthropologist W.W.M. Eiselen, to study and make recommendations for the education of native South Africans. The Eiselen Commission Report (1951) urged the government to take charge of education for Black South Africans in order to make it part of a general socioeconomic plan for the country. In addition, the report stated that the schooling should be tailored toward the needs and values of the cultures of the communities in which the schools were located. The prescriptions of the commission were generally followed by the Bantu Education Act.

Under the act, the Department of Native Affairs, headed by Hendrik Verwoerd , was made responsible for the education of Black South Africans; in 1958 the Department of Bantu Education was established. The act required Black children to attend the government schools. Teaching was to take place in the students’ native tongue, though the syllabus included classes in English and Afrikaans . Instruction was mandated in needlework (for girls), handcraft, planting, and soil conservation as well as in arithmetic , social studies, and Christian religion. The education was aimed at training the children for the manual labour and menial jobs that the government deemed suitable for those of their race, and it was explicitly intended to inculcate the idea that Black people were to accept being subservient to white South Africans. Funding for the schools was to come from taxes paid by the communities that they served, so Black schools received only a small fraction of the amount of money that was available to their white counterparts. As a result, there was a profound shortage of qualified teachers, and teacher-student ratios ranged from 40–1 to 60–1. An attempt by activists to establish alternative schools (called cultural clubs because such schools were illegal under the education act) that would give children a better education had collapsed by the end of the 1950s.

bibliography of bantu education law

High schools were initially concentrated in the Bantustans , reserves that the government intended as homelands for Black South Africans. However, during the 1970s the need for better-trained Black workers resulted in the opening of high schools in Soweto , outside Johannesburg . Nonwhite students were barred from attending open universities by the Extension of University Education Act (1959). The Bantu Education Act was replaced by the Education and Training Act of 1979. Mandatory segregation in education ended with the passage of the South African Schools Act in 1996, but decades of substandard education and barriers to entrance to historically white schools had left the majority of Black South Africans far behind in educational achievement by the beginning of the 21st century.

The introduction of Bantu education and the question of resistance, co-operation, non-collaboration or defiance?: the struggle for African schooling with special reference to Cape Town, 1945-1960

The purpose of the Bantu Education Act was to extend the state's direct political control over African communities: African resistance modified this control and shaped the implementation of Bantu Education. Through the centralization of the administration and the financing of African schooling the state was able to accommodate an increasing demand for schooling at a reduced cost per pupil. Control of these schools was exercised through inspectors and through statutory School Committees and School Boards. A secondary purpose of Bantu Education was to provide suitably skilled and co-operative workers to meet the needs of a growing industrial economy. The major national resistance to state control came from the A.N.C. in the form of the Bantu Education Campaign. This plan that parents should withdraw their children from state schools from 1 April 1955 received wide support in the East Rand and Eastern Cape areas. African opposition to the intervention by the state also influenced the outcome of Bantu Education - it defined the limits of the state's control and it increased the need to supply an acceptably academic education. A case study of the implementation of Bantu Education in Cape Town illustrates the above contentions. Not only were School Boards and Committees used to regulate the schools, also the selective opening of schools in the new official location and closing of other schools in “non-African” areas point to Bantu Education being used as a lever to resettle Africans. Economically the expansion of African schooling coincided with a rapid growth in Cape Town's industry but there was no simple correspondence between the two. The response to the A.N.C call to withdraw pupils from schools in Cape Town was limited not because of the absence of traditions of resistance in the City but because of divisions between resistance movements. The defiant proposal of the A.N.C was condemned by the Cape African Teachers' Association (and the Unity Movement) as shifting the burden of the struggle onto the children. The conflict between the two bodies concerned more than tactical differences since they refused to co-operate even when their tactics were the same. (e.g. to boycott School Boards and School Committees). The failure to unite resistance to Bantu Education in Cape Town arose essentially from the fact that the local A.N.C. and C.A.T.A. branches were linked to opposing movements for national liberation, viz. The Congress Alliance and the Non-European Unity Movement respectively. The latter body called on Africans not to collaborate by participating on School Boards or voting for School Committees.
