Rural education in South Africa, particularly within the black communities,
has suffered neglect under Apartheid education policies. This has resulted
in an array of problems which continue to beset the country's education
system.
The community, through its various institutions, has a major role to play in
the whole education renewal process. The business sector is one such a
community institution, which is directly affected by the quality of school
education. Countries such as Britain and the U.S. provide excellent
examples of close co-operation between business and schools in an effort to
prepare pupils in accordance with the needs of the workplace.
The qualitative study conducted in schools, within the Dzumeri community,
showed that there is a dire need for business involvement with schools in
order to address important areas of mutual concern. It is finally
recommended that the government must formulate enabling policies, which
will promote business education partnership activities and ensure proper coordination at all administrative levels / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Comparative Education)
