I think the current administration should take 100% responsibility for fixing the problem, immediately. It’s not helpful now to blame how we got to where we are (no matter how good it may feel). I think the legacy of apartheid education policies will be felt for many decades, but knowing how we go to where we are doesn’t help getting us to a better future unless we take action.

You would hope they would plead for additional resources, better equipment, small classes…

And, further to that, how long will it take or what will it take to shake off that legacy?

Surely at some point the current administration should take some of the responsibility for the current state of the system?
