Education in South Africa

South Africa has a high-cost, low-performance education system that does not compare favourably with education systems in other African countries, or in similar developing economies.
There is a multitude of well-publicised problems, including a shortage of teachers, underqualified teachers and poor teacher performance.
In the classroom, it is found poor learner standards and results, a lack of classroom discipline and is exacerbated by insufficient resources and inadequate infrastructure.
On a government level, difficulties have been caused by a failure of appropriate inspection and monitoring, and confusion caused by changing curricula without proper communication and training.
All this has lead to massive demoralisation and disillusionment among teachers and a negative and worsening perception of the teaching profession.
