Abstract: | The author first looks at the impact of the formal education system, as implemented in terms of the apartheid policy, on the farm-worker community in South Africa, and next at the need for adult education to address the backlog in education and the negative effects flowing from this. In apartheid South Africa the farm-worker community was trapped in a vicious circle of poverty and had no access to education. To put an end to this relationship, the provision of education to farm children, supplemented by the provision of adult education to parents (literacy training), is needed. Bibliogr., note. |
