I think he worded it wrong, it should say the current system is more ineffective than the bantu system was.
The current system is better but its useless because of bad implementation, management etc etc.

A system is only as good as its output.

The OP (and some posters) havent got a frikken clue what bantu education really was.

Bantu education was not bad,in fact it was excellent.It has a specific purpose to teach blacks a specific distorted,bias,propaganda driven, limited to certain jobs education.It was design to condition blacks for the sub standard life that was reserved for them.

The problem I see happen all the time thought is that the system will get blamed and changed with the same result.
Blame the people who are incompetent not the education system.

That doesn't mean the system is good, those "smart" people had to work a lot harder than people from the other side of the system at university to get their degrees.

In my mind the system is the entire process, not the framework. The framework is fine. The implementation and thus the system is a cock up.
 
Bantu education was better says Wits Academic

The apartheid-era Bantu education system was much better than the current education regime, a Wits academic said in Pretoria on Thursday.

“It was far better in terms of quality than the education that our kids are receiving nowadays. That is where the problem is,” Rabelani Dagada, a lecturer at Wits Business School, told a debate on affirmative action.

“Affirmative action should be about empowerment. The best way to empower is not to take from those who have and give to those who don't have. It won't work.”

Dagada said South Africans could only be empowered through proper education.

“After 20 years of democracy, the education levels have plunged. It's worse than the so-called Bantu education. The best way to do transformation, empowerment is to provide quality education.” Former foreign affairs minister Pik Botha said South Africa, under the ANC's leadership, had moved away from former president Nelson Mandela's principles. He said the country's affirmative action policies were mainly hurting the black majority.

“How much further down must all of us go before we say this is enough now? Our education is far behind, it is the worst in Africa, (but) it has the highest per capita expenditure.”

Botha said Zimbabwe's education system was better than South Africa's.

“When is this going to change? At state hospitals black patients must wait for three years for an operation.”

Botha said when Mandela became president, he was careful not to lose skilled white people.

“He said we must not lose the proficiency of the whites. They must not leave the public service, but they should help us to train people to achieve that same proficiency,” said Botha.

“They have now removed all those people.”

So why does this guy think it only black patients that have to wait - kinda dilutes the integrity of the article.

From the clip I heard on the radio ... the point he was trying to make I think was that BEE etc is actually hurting the black population..... not necessarily making life better for them.

This is what I deduced from it ... I could be wrong.
 
All to be laid squarely at the ANC's feet.

Come-on dudes you're in charge now, you got what you wanted so tell us how are you going to fix things? Show us those African solutions to African problems.

I don't think it will. It is in the ANC's political interest to have a fairly moronic populace. Good, or even sufficient, education is not in their interests - it can lead only to less votes.

Rabelani Dagada an acedemic???????? BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

A horrible stint at Royal Bafokeng left him no option but to teach. Take his words with a massive pinch of salt

If I should have said this, some Africans should have called me RACIST and asked for my permanent banning. Why is this moron not receiving the same treatment? There is nothing wrong with the education system in SA. WTF Only imperialists/europeans who want to discredit the ANC would say something like this. SOX63 is right in discrediting this lunatic :D
 
The education system is ok, private schools are doing very well with it, the problem is the public schools,something needs to be fixed
