Description
The formation of a democratic government brought significant changes in South Africa. Today, the majority of education services are decentralized, and so the provinces have taken on the responsibility of implementing national education policies and plans. South Africa has 12 million children in school and approximately 366,000 teachers in approximately 28,000 schools, including 390 schools for children with special needs and 1,000 registered private schools. Of those schools, 6,000 are high schools (grade 7 to grade 12) and the rest are primary (grade 1 to grade 6) (Garson, 2006). Children attend school for 12 years, in addition to the first year (called grade 0). Grades 10, 11, and 12 are not compulsory; however, they are required prior to tertiary education. A relatively large portion of the annual budget is dedicated to education. In 2006, approximately $417.9 billion was slated for education, which amounted to 24 percent of non-interest expenditures (Garson, 2006). Teachers in South Africa deal with the remnants of an inherited education system based on segregation and exclusion of particular groups of students. While the previous practices of segregation resided within the context of racial groupings, exclusionary practices related to disabilities, academic abilities, and language competence are evident today. Even though the lines of exclusion are more permeable today, the conceptual underpinnings that sustain segregation have a residual effect on support for inclusive education and subsequently on quality of teacher support.
