Bantu Education Department
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bantu Education Department is a governmental department created for the education of blacks in South Africa by the National Party government during the apartheid years.
The method of approach was that the blacks had a different culture, separate from that of the whites, and that they had to be educated accordingly. Black education initially had a strong missionary presence, especially in the rural areas, and there was much good-will among inspectors and teachers of different races. However, the rigid way in which the policy was applied eventually led to much discontent and hardship.
