Masters of Commerce / From 194 7-1994, South Africans were ruled under apartheid - a racially discriminatory
political and economic system. As the name itself implies, apartheid is an Afrikaans name
meaning "apartness". The provision of education in South Africa during this regime was
poor, particularly for the African (black) population and most especially those living in
homelands. This led to under-investment in human capital development particularly in the
rural areas which resulted in, low levels of skills that have persisted till today. This has
hindered those lacking the required skills to obtain lucrative employment and earning
prospects. This study aims at investigating the impact of a household head's educational
attainment level on the poverty status of the household in South Africa with case study of
Limpopo province.
