What’s the difference between a good education system and a bad one in South Africa? Race and status. South Africa remains a deeply unequal society, more than 27 years into democracy. Street Talk TV investigates how the inequities still play out in our education system, and how activism can help close the gaps.

 

This film was produced by Street Talk.
