Dismantling the legacy of apartheid in education

Today the South African Students Congress (SASCO) our sister organisation launches its Right to Learn Campaign in Mpumalanga. This gathering will be addressed by the leadership of the Progressive Youth Alliance as part of the commitments we have made in ensuring that we achieve ‘Free Education in our Lifetime’ as part of the broader struggles for socialism we wage in dismantling the legacy of apartheid colonialism and the capitalist system in South Africa and beyond.

The characteristics of apartheid legacy still haunt us across the education sector and are more viral in the higher education institutions that were the preserve of the elite and racial exclusion. It is this legacy that we should push our campaigns strongly without being defocused by the neo-liberal media with the clearest understanding that struggle is the determinant of transformation. There is resistance from university councils and management and there are a lot of cover-ups of incidents that seek to dehumanise and treat black African and working class students, workers and some lecturers within these institutions as sub-standard.
