SA Schools to be ‘50% black, 50% white’

[jack_spratt]

I suspect she is referring to the few schools that are still over 50% white?

JULY POLICY CONFERENCE: ANC supports a basic income of R350 and proposals to ensure race parity in schools

At its national policy conference this week, the party will also hear proposals by the Women's League for the chemical castration of sex offenders to be put back on the agenda.

50-50 black-white ratio in schools​

The Committee will also table a proposal to ensure diversity at schools. “No school should be registered unless there is 50/50 (representation) in schools,” said Sisulu, who added that a country built a common identity by attending school and that people established bonds when they grew up. White people comprise 4.6-million out of a total 60 million South Africans and skew older, so the schools’ race target is about a small cohort of schools that are not diverse.

Yes, she did target a small group, but her proposal is broadly targeted. This proposal, however, disrupts spatial integration, and this is better addressed with spatial planning.

Point me to a predominantly white school? I've not seen one of those nigh on 20 years. Maybe those schools in the Natal midlands??

Well I can't check every school in the country, in GP area I did know of two dual medium (afrikaans & english) public primary schools that were at least 70% white back in 2010's, which as per

It will be mostly be the Afrikaans ones, there's one in Linden, a primary school.

was pointing out was probably the case. Back then a lot of private schools were also predominantly white (st johns, st peters, st stithians, etc). Can't say if it is still the same currently, and the overall picture is probably a very insignificantly small percentage of schools across the country have this student body proportion. But knowing the anc, they would rather focus on these smoke and mirror topics instead of addressing actual problems, like improving overall education back up to 50%, if not more, pass requirements.

Fsck, do we have to import white kids now?

Anyone dare suggest we export a bunch of black ones?

More nonsense about completely ignoring people's free will and uniqueness to pursue some ridiculous idea that because there is some or other demographic break down everything must be representative of that break down

Yirre tog - what is most absurd is how much we as taxpayers are paying this ill-gotten creature for her inane and moronic statements to be made public like this!

I swear, these politicians are the ONLY reason SA is in the state it is - Sisulu is clearly in this position purely because of her struggle credentials and not her basic (never mind critical) thinking abilities!!

Niehaus has another friend in the "utter failure as a human being" category!

 

[grok]

As long as guavamint also have a ratio of 50% black and 50% white.

Other races, sorry for you..!

Excluding private schools whose makeup differ mostly due to their location there are still a lot of schools that are predominantly white - most of them are Afrikaans medium schools located in predominantly white areas. These schools are on average I suspect better functioning and better funded than schools in other areas who are at the sole mercy of the government.

The reason they are better funded is because the parents can afford to pay higher school fees so the school can employ extra teachers and has money to spend on resources that the state does not provide.

These schools are the easy targets she is aiming for - show your average ANC voter the nice and shiny "white" school and if they compare it to the Teachers union infested state school where they live it makes it easy for her to blame the white school for excluding their kids.

It would be a lot harder for her to explain to her voters why after almost 30 years in control she has not fixed the state school, or why the thieving and corrupt ANC has not grown the economy enough for them to afford to pay the higher school fees needed to send their kids to a decent school.

Putting the severe lack of math skills aside, what she is actually saying is that she wants white schools to be forced to accept 50% black pupils. Any sane person can predict how this ends, the white parents who can afford it will move their kids to private schools, not because they are racists but because the strain that the people in the school who are unable to pay puts on the school will mean the school fees for the paying people will have to be raised to the same level as private schools or the schools will just fail in the same way the state schools do.

So not fixing anything, just breaking the few functioning schools that are left. The ANC has to be very careful; at the rate they are obliterating the last few vestiges of a functioning economy and society they will soon run out of examples of white privilege to point to.

Is there a scam in human history greater than the peddling of "Diversity"?

 

[Bigjay84]

And there you have the problem with ANC cadres in one easy sentence

 

[The Trutherizer]

A fields medal for anybody who can work out how 8% = 50%.

Anyway. I'm not in favour of quotas to start with. Just more red tape. More angst. More narrative cud for professional narrative cud chewers. With at best superficial results.

Fsck, do we have to import white kids now?

I wonder who will tender for the imports...

 

[AstroTurf]

Does she realise that SA Demographics mean this is physically impossible?

7.5% of the countries population is white.

 

[PrimeSteak]

Never mind the numerical retardation, but this goes to show how out of touch with reality Sisulu and the ANC are. How the **** will you implement 50% black and 50% white nationwide according to SA's demographics?

And don't get it twisted this comes from a party that promotes itself as non-racial officially.

/sighs

Long walk to 2024 at this point...

7.5% of the countries population is white.

Some put it at 8.5%, others at 9.5% and some at 10%.

Unfortunately, no matter what percentage they use, it does not include the millions of white people who left the country the past 25 years. This figure only include birth registrations at Home Affairs.

Over and above this, this number also do not reflect the total amount of white children who do not attend public schools. Many are in private schools and in recent years a large number are enrolling in online schools. In fact, one online school, Teneo Education, was recently recognized by the DBE as an official school and even issued with a number due to the large amount of children enrolling there.

So, they have real life issues to contend with too.

Agreed,

For interest sake, they would have to close the school my daughter is in because she is the only white kid in the school

I removed 0.3% due to emigration but it is an estimate.

Absolutely brilliant idea once again from the ANC. Viva
