Nope buttercup.. You claimed you had seen the figures and you made the retarded claim.. Back it up or admit that you're talking shyte as usual.

For the year 1982, just over 50% of all whites went on the write matric. But that time it already improved, as you can see 20% of whites didn't even finish ST8.

Bogenoemde grafiek toon die relatiewe verhoudings van skoolinskrywing oor die verskillende skool grade (jare). Dit was toelaatbaar om die skool aan die einde van Standard 8 te verlaat, en jy kan uit die grafiek sien dat daar 'n betreklik konsekwente vlak van bywoning tot op daardie vlak is. Wat ook duidelik is, is dat 'n groot deel studente voortgaan om die finale standaard 10-matrikulasie eksamen af te lê. Let daarop dat geleenthede vir verdere onderwys ook aanleiding gegee het tot blanke kinders wat in die skool vir standaarde 9 en 10 bly.

Only 20% of those who write matric went on to study further. The fraction of that who persued a STEM direction is even smaller

OK so you can post annual school enrollment figures... How about providing evidence for your original fscking retarded claim.
 
No.. You claimed they were called up at 16 and didn't finish matric.. Back it up or admit you're talking shyte.

I said that my figures were from the 1970s and from memory. Good luck finding enrollment figures for the army or 1970s. I had them at University, they that are enormously difficult to get.

But let's go with the 1982 figures, up to 50% of all whites students who could write matric didn't. The army served as a jobs program for these guys.

So you're talking shyte then but aren't man enough to admit that...

Not unexpected really.

1. I said some correction,
2. I substantiated my argument with figures from the 1982, do you accept those figures?
3. If they are correct, do you accept the argument that the army was in part a jobs programme?

No all you've posted are annual enrolment figures.. Sweet fek all else buttercup.
 
Conscripting was to keep the white unemployment rates low. An affirmative action of sorts.
The army was there to give them skills. Ask many of those old whites who enrolled in the army how many guys with them had a matric?
The whites you are basing your points around were specifically the low income poor class whites. A small minority in apartheid days. After conscription when the ANC took over, white unemployment was only 2-3 percent.

Strange how you can read statistics and draw entirely incorrect conclusions from the presented facts. Nowhere does it say or imply that just over 50% of whites in 1982 wrote matric.

If you take population growth into account, with 5.7% of whites in matric and 8.8% in Sub A, those stats imply that over 70% of whites went on to write matric.

That was after the period, conscripting was instituted in the 1970s already.

The rate who enrolled in 1982 were just over 50%. A percentage of that also didn't finish matric, you're close to 50%. Take into account that by 1982 white education significantly improved already compared to the 70s when many whites were only 1 generation into urbanisation.

The stats are for white South Africans and the relative ratios for that year group.

Even using your figures, 30% didn't finish matric.

No, they dropped out in STD8, it was very popular thing to do, I remember it well

it was rational at the time, as the economy didn't have such a high demand for matric, I actually think that pushing more kids to finish matric dumbed down the value of the certificate.

You can't post a compelling argument if your basic stats you start with are off. The data you linked to says nowhere that just over 50% enrolled in matric in 1982. That's in your mind, and if you do the maths it is also nowhere near 50%.

The stats listed are that 5.7% of whites were enrolled in matric compared to 8.8% of Sub A, B and Standard 1's.

With population growth in the 70's and 80's one can easily assume that the population of 7 and 8 year old whites, numbered around 15% higher than 17 and 18 year old whites at matric age.

Using those numbers that would equate to 75% of whites enrolling for matric. Taking other factors into account that might be 70%, but nowhere close to 50%.

The majority of the white urbanization took place in the 1950s and 1960s, that is when you see expanding populations, fertility then starts falling.

5.7/8.8 = 50.16%, that assumes that they were equally distributed,

But just take STD8 to STD12, assuming that 16 year old and 18 year olds have the same proportion of the population,
5.7/7.8 = 75%, still 1/4 of the whites didn't finish matric,


Now if you wind back the clock to 1967 the point when conscription was introduced, that ratio gets even wider.

The point I am getting out is that the military helped industrialize SA as it did with America, it's part of the largest industrial program.

No buttercup.. You're back peddling because you've been called on your bullshyte and as usual can't back it up with anything based in reality.
