Education is the most powerful tool we can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela
Education is the passing of knowledge from one generation to another generation. If this passing of knowledge was to fail then we would find ourselves with an uneducated future generation and a another Dark Age.
The education system in South Africa has-and though being a sad truth- been failing. Undelivered textbooks in Limpopo; South African companies unable to find skilled personnel; 80% of South African grade five learners are exposed to the risk of not learning to read and so on. Our society is facing a great danger that will darken the future of South Africa- lack of education.
The lack of education will cause a myriad of social problems such gang violence, prostitution, domestic violence and many more. These will be a result of no education and therefore the inability to attain jobs. Including health problems as these uneducated people will not desire to take care of themselves as they would know nothing of family planning and proper hygiene.
Some solutions to our education problems:
Ensure that the focus of education in early school years is on writing, reading and counting.
Ensure proper training of teachers.
The Department of Education should execute development plans of education efficiently and effectively.
