The foundations of a segregated schooling system on the Witwatersrand, 1900-1924

The origins of the present segregated schooling system
are bound up with the structuring of South African racial
capitalism under the dominance of mining capital, particularly
in the period 1900-1924, In attempting an historical explanation
of this process, this study argues that the economic
and social foundations of the backwardness of the schooling
for Blacks in South Africa are connected with the segregationist
structure determined by class struggle in the for early
period of mining capital. It demonstrates that the basic
characteristics and features of segregation in education
had been established during the same period.
